Exit doors in Perth can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Perth each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Commissioning and handover
- Weather and threshold detailing
Rules and responsibilities in Perth
In Perth, 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.
Which buildings in Perth need fire exit doors?
From hospitality venues to offices, the requirement for fire exit doors in Perth comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you work in Perth?
Yes, we take on fire exit doors in Perth and the surrounding area, including Glenrothes and Dundee. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Perth 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.
