Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Barnstaple
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- 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.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Barnstaple, 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
Most installations in Barnstaple can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
