Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Lockerbie, 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Lockerbie can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

Do you repair fire exit doors across Dumfries and Galloway?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Dumfries and Galloway. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Lockerbie 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.

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.
