- Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Downpatrick?
Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.
Can a steel door at our Downpatrick unit be security rated?
Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.
Can our Downpatrick fire exit be locked from outside?
Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.
