Options that matter on site

Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Cambridge 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Cambridge can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Can our Cambridge 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.

Can a steel door at our Cambridge unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Cambridge 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.
