Postcode district: SK11
Area: Cheshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
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.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.

What this work can involve

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
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 Macclesfield, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
