- Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
What this work can involve
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Kendal, 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
