Options that matter on site
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
- Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Bedford, 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors
How long does it take to replace a steel door in Bedford?
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.
Do you repair fire exit doors across Bedfordshire?
Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Bedfordshire. 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 Bedford 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.
