What we fit in Plymouth
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Plymouth 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Plymouth 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.
