What we fit in County Durham

Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in County Durham, 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

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.
