What to specify
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Door rules for workplaces in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover doors on traffic routes, including a clear view through doors that can be pushed open from either side. Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, emergency exit doors must open easily in the direction of escape.
Planning the work around your site

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair fire exit doors across Northern Ireland?
Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Northern Ireland. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.
Which fire exit hardware do we need at our County Armagh site?
If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.
Can our County Armagh fire exit be locked from outside?
Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.
