What to specify
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- 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 Falmouth 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
