Town: Milton Keynes
Postcode district: MK9
Area: Buckinghamshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.

What this work can involve

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Milton Keynes, 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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Milton Keynes: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes 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.

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

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.
