What riser and cupboard fire doors in Greenock should include
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Greenock, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Greenock, care homes, small blocks of flats and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
While fitting riser doors in Greenock, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Greenock blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Closer or lock?
Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
Fire door law for Greenock properties
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.
