Getting fire door ironmongery right in Renfrew
If you need fire door ironmongery in Renfrew, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Renfrew protect escape routes in schools, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We supply ironmongery for Renfrew fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Renfrew buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
What the rules say for Renfrew
Renfrew is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Renfrew.

Common questions
Do you cover PA4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Renfrew including PA4, and nearby towns such as Clydebank and Paisley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Renfrew building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
How many hinges does a fire door need?
Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
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.
