What steel fire doors in Dundee should include
We provide steel fire doors in Dundee (DD1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Dundee, GP surgeries, care homes 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.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Dundee often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Dundee we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Security and finishes
Steel fire doors can combine fire resistance with security features such as heavier locks and anti-jemmy details, within the evidence. They are usually powder coated in a range of colours, which gives a hard-wearing finish for back-of-house areas.
As standard, the work covers:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
Rules and responsibilities in Dundee
Dundee is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Dundee.

They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
