What to specify
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
What this work can involve
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- 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 Poole, 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 Dorset 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.
