What to specify

Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Swadlincote, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Derbyshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Swadlincote 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.
