Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Ayrshire
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- 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.
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in Ayrshire workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
