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.

Which way does a fire exit door open?

Outward, in the direction of escape, where occupancy requires it — most commercial exit doors open outward.
