Fire exit doors in Glasgow, done to the evidence
Our fire exit doors service covers all of Glasgow, across postcode districts including G1, G69 and G31.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Glasgow each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Glasgow can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Wherever your building is in Glasgow, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
Which fire door rules apply in Glasgow?
In Glasgow, 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire exit doors across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
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.
