The Body Corporate Committee have found them to be extremely diligent when responding to requests for quotes and we have utilised their services many times.
Their product and workmanship have been excellent.

As an owner, I wanted to replace my apartment door, which had seen better days. Little did I know what a steep learning curve was in store for me!… They answered questions as they arose and were always professional in their dealings with me. Our body corp chose them to replace all six doors and they did it quickly and without fuss.
Pricing and what is included in their quote. No unexpected surprises. Everything was explained clearly and precisely + work went as we were told. Very friendly and patiet service too. Our 16 unit complex has quality fire doors now. I would definitely recommend them!
As chair of my apartment building’s Body Corporate, I contacted Peter for expert advice as I had been referred to him by another company who said Peter was one of the best in his field. I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and professional and willing to share his many years of experience. I threw a couple of complex questions relating to door compliance and he not only answered my questions but sent me a lot of information. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Peter and Scanline Fire Doors
Easy to work with. fair and reasonably price. Will continue to use these guys
Fire door tags are an integral part of the fire door. It shows the fire rating, manufacturer, applicant, certifier, and year installed. If the door is missing the tag and is relatively new, you may be able to contact the company that installed the door, and they may be able to assist with re-certification. If that is not possible, then you will have no option other than to replace the door and possibly the hardware.
Yes, there are strict clearance limits on the fire door requirements and if these gaps exceed the limits, then the door is not compliant and may need to be replaced. In some cases, however, the use of compliant upgrade seals can bring the doors up to the standard required by AS 1905. Contact Us to see if your door can be made compliant.
The Australian standard requires that all fire doors that lead into a fire isolated stairwell or corridor must have approved signage (FIRE SAFETY DOOR DO NOT OBSTRUCT DO NOT KEEP OPEN) permanently fitted to the door. In addition, doors that form a final exit for a fire isolated stairwell or corridor must have signage to BOTH sides of the door.
Deadbolts are not permitted on fire doors as they cannot allow the door to be self-latching if the bolt has been left in the locked position. Fire doors must be able to self-close and latch at any given time. There are options depending on the make of core of the installed door. Some deadbolts can be removed or replaced with certain compliant hardware (deadlatches). If repair has not been tested, and where the core of the door cannot be determined, the only way to ensure compliance is to have the door replaced and new approved hardware installed.
Many building owners are conducting routine replacements of the older asbestos doors as part of their commitment to workplace health and safety. If the asbestos filled Fire Door remains in good condition and still functioning as required by the required standards, then there is no need to have them replaced. When the integrity of the door is compromised or no longer function compliantly, then replacement must occur.
We often get asked by building managers and bodies corporate why the cost to repair fire doors in their building is so high. The answer is nearly always the same because there has been such little preventative maintenance undertaken that the doors are beyond repair and need to be replaced. An example of this is the metal door frames. Metal door frames accumulate silt in the rebate which holds moisture and subsequently causes rust to develop. A preventative maintenance program can be established by Scanline Fire Doors which may include cleaning down the frames more regularly which will reduce the chance of rust materializing on the frame.
Even minor adjustments to door hardware can help prolong the life of the fire door which will result in huge cost savings over time. It’s never too late to start a preventative maintenance program. In fact, if your building is relatively new or you’ve recently had work undertaken on your fire doors, now is the time to start carrying out preventative maintenance. This will ensure your door; door frames and hardware remain compliant and function properly for longer.
Ask one of our friendly team at Scanline Fire Doors today about developing a preventative maintenance program. Remember to only use licenced contractors when working on any prescribed fire safety installation.
Only some Fire Door ‘cores’ are tested to have a screen/security door fitted. Only Crimsafe security screens have been tested with those cores.
That will depend on the extent of the damage. Some is repairable and some is not. Pease use our Contact Us page to get in contact, or send an email to info@scanline.com.au with a photo of the damage and your contact details.
