What fire door ironmongery in Perth should include
If you need fire door ironmongery in Perth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Perth protect escape routes in small offices, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Signage for fire doors in Perth buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Perth we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
What you get:
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
What the rules say for Perth
In Perth, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
Who needs fire door ironmongery in Perth?
The need for fire door ironmongery usually arises in offices or schools, and sometimes blocks of flats. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Perth to keep escape routes protected throughout.
The steps on a Perth installation
- Identify the door's certification and hardware schedule

Questions
Is Perth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Perth in Perth & Kinross and neighbouring towns such as Glenrothes. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Perth?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
