Fire door ironmongery: our service in Paisley
From the PA2 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Paisley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Paisley protect escape routes in schools, care homes and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Paisley fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Paisley buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Why hardware choice matters
Fire doors are tested with particular hardware. Hinges hold the door in place as it heats up; locks and latches keep it shut against fire pressure; their holes are protected with intumescent linings. Swapping in a cheaper hinge, a larger lock body or a lever on a spindle that melts can change how the door behaves. Hinges for fire doors are commonly grade 13 to BS EN 1935.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads and lock linings
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire door signage
Which fire door rules apply in Paisley?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Paisley. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Paisley are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions from Paisley
Do you cover PA2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Paisley including PA2, and nearby towns such as Renfrew and Clydebank. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
