Fire Door Hold-Open Devices in Kirkcaldy: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Kirkcaldy?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Can you price remedial work in Kirkcaldy from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Kirkcaldy, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
