Town: Alfreton
Postcode district: DE55
Area: Derbyshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.

What this work can involve

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Alfreton 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.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Alfreton?

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 Alfreton 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Alfreton site?

If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.
