What councils typically look for
Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.
The regulations behind fire doors in Dunbartonshire
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Dunbartonshire. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Dunbartonshire are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across Dunbartonshire?
Yes. We cover all of Dunbartonshire, including Bearsden and Clydebank. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
