Questions about double fire doors in Ayr
Which rules do double fire doors in Ayr need to meet?
They are specified to the Scottish Building Standards Technical Handbooks and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Ayr?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Ayr?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Why does my double fire door not close properly?
Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
