What to specify
- Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Torquay, 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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Devon 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.
