Preserving history, designing the future: The Edinburgh Futures Institute The award winning transformation of Edinburgh's Old Royal Infirmary into the Edinburgh Futures Institute is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. Led by Bennetts Associates and Balfour Beatty plc, this multi-million pound refurbishment has breathed new life into a 19th-century landmark, creating a cutting-edge space for interdisciplinary learning and innovation. At DorSuite, we were proud to partner with the project team to deliver bespoke door solutions that met the complex fire, aesthetic, and acoustic requirements of this ambitious undertaking. Our oversized doors, heritage panelled designs, and acoustic solutions seamlessly blend modern functionality with the building's historic charm. Special thanks to Iain McNeill and Joseph Lander for their efforts in ensuring our doorsets met the project's high standards, and to Paul Zanre for capturing the project's stunning transformation through his photography. We're honoured to have played a role in bringing this vision to life alongside such outstanding partners.

About us
We have a proud pedigree and reputation in architectural hardware, doorsets and DorSuites built over 20 years. Formerly Scotdor, our business has evolved and is still evolving. Our origins sit in architectural hardware, but over the years our service offering has extended into performance doorsets, and then further developed into DorSuites underpinned by our unique DorSuiting approach – designing for compatibility and performance. DorSuite has progressed from being a regional door and architectural hardware supplier to one of the largest performance doorset manufacturers and architectural hardware suppliers in the UK. We have multiple factories and nationwide coverage. Our unique approach to performance doorset solutions focuses on design for compatibility (DorSuiting) to ensure absolute performance through design. We re-branded our business from Scotdor to DorSuite to help us on our journey, and to more accurately depict the organisation we are today. This exciting change reflects our ambition to not only provide outstanding service, but to provide our customers with the peace of mind they demand. All this is aimed at supporting you, our customer. As the manufacturer we ensure the performance requirements for the building and project that you are working on are met, and that the buildings are not only fit for purpose but truly designed for compatibility and performance. With DorSuite you are working with one supplier. Our stringent manufacturing controls mean we provide a truly complete performance door solution through our unique DorSuiting service - a product that is consistent in appearance, design, durability and lead times.

🌟 Transforming Spaces, Building Communities 🌟 The MacMillan Hub in Edinburgh's Pennywell development is more than a building—it’s a vibrant space bringing people together through learning, creativity, and connection. A project by Richard Murphy Architects LTD and Robertson Group, the Hub integrates diverse spaces: a library, early years centre, arts building, and even social housing. But designing for such varied needs came with its challenges. How did we contribute? At DorSuite, we worked closely with the team to deliver bespoke doorsets tailored to each area: ✔️ Durable laminate-faced doors for high-traffic areas. ✔️ Natural light-enhancing glazed doors with oak bolection beading. ✔️ Concealed oak lippings for a sleek, modern finish. The result? A space that’s as functional as it is beautiful, supporting the Hub’s mission to foster community spirit. 👏 A huge shoutout to our amazing DorSuite team for bringing this vision to life: Katy Oliver John Wright & Kevin Robb. 📸 Stunning photography by Paul Zanre captures the design’s impact.

How confident are you in your building’s first line of defence? Fire doors are essential for building safety, but only if they’re well-maintained. A quick check can reveal if there’s anything that needs urgent attention—before it’s too late. To make this easier, we’ve created a free 5-Step Fire Door Inspection Guide. While this check won’t replace a full inspection by a qualified professional, it will help you spot potential issues that need fixing, so you can take action sooner. Download the guide today and take the first step in prioritizing safety. #FireSafety #FireDoors #InspectionChecklist #BuildingSafety #doorset #SmokeSeals
