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.
Fire door law for Highlands & Islands properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Highlands & Islands.
