Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in County Down

Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.

Door rules for workplaces in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover doors on traffic routes, including a clear view through doors that can be pushed open from either side. Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, emergency exit doors must open easily in the direction of escape.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around County Down vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
