What to specify
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
- 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.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Widnes, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Cheshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
