Fire exit doors in Glasgow, done to the evidence
From the G2 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Glasgow for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Glasgow range from schools to mixed-use office buildings and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
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.
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.
What you get:
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
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 cover G2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Glasgow including G2, and nearby towns such as Rutherglen and Bishopbriggs. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Glasgow 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.
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.
