What steel fire doors in Dunfermline should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dunfermline, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Dunfermline, houses with integral garages, high-street shops and HMOs 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 Dunfermline often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Dunfermline we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
As standard, the work covers:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Rules and responsibilities in Dunfermline
