Fire door work in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Why choose a doorset over a door leaf?
A fire door's rating belongs to the assembly that was tested, not to the leaf on its own. When a certified leaf is hung in an old frame with mismatched hinges and seals, nobody can say with confidence how it will perform. A doorset arrives with the frame, gaps and ironmongery already matched, so the installer's job is to fix it correctly into the opening and seal it to the structure.
Doorsets also cut time on site, which matters in occupied buildings: less cutting, less dust and fewer return visits.
