Options that matter on site

Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
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.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.

What this work can involve

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Northwich 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.

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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Northwich 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.
