Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Ayr

The short version

Each steel door project in Ayr starts with a free survey of the opening, escape route and security needs, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts on site.

Town: Ayr
Postcode district: KA7
Area: Ayrshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Ayr, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Ayr vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Ayr

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Ayr 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.

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Ayr?

Most single steel doorsets are fitted in a day, including removal of the old door, fixing the new frame and making good. Made-to-measure doorsets have a manufacturing lead time, which we confirm with the quote.

Can our Ayr 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.
