Fire exit doors: our service in Alloa
Our fire exit doors service in Alloa is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Alloa, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Before quoting for an exit door in Alloa, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Alloa can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Panic bars or emergency hardware?
Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.
Each installation includes:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
Which fire door rules apply in Alloa?
In Alloa, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover FK10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Alloa including FK10, and nearby towns such as Stirling and Falkirk. 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 exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
