Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in St Austell
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
- Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- 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.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in St Austell, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
