Town: Stranraer
Postcode district: DG9
Area: Dumfries and Galloway
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
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.

Door rules for workplaces in Scotland

Doors in Stranraer workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Dumfries and Galloway 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.
