Flat entrance fire doors in Greenock, done to the evidence
When you book flat entrance fire doors in Greenock, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Greenock has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Flat entrance door programmes in Greenock are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Greenock, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?
We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Self-closer set to close and latch
The regulations behind fire doors in Greenock
In Greenock, 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 Greenock need flat entrance fire doors?
From converted houses split into flats to sheltered housing, the requirement for flat entrance fire doors in Greenock 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.

How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
