Options that matter on site
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Buxton, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
