Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Cornwall

The short version

We can supply and install steel doorsets in Cornwall and across the South West, from simple staff entrances to fire-rated and security-rated doors, with the frame, leaf and hardware supplied as one tested set.

Area: Cornwall
Nation: England
Main town: Truro
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
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.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

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.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Cornwall, 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

Sites in and around Cornwall vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Cornwall: your questions

Can our Cornwall 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 Cornwall?

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.

Can a steel door at our Cornwall 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.
