Edinburgh FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Edinburgh?

No. Edinburgh is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

How many hinges does a fire door need?

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Edinburgh?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Edinburgh can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
