- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Jobs we can carry out
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Hartlepool 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
