What to specify
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
What this work can involve
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Seaham, 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors
Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Seaham?
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.
How long does it take to replace a steel door in Seaham?
Most single steel doorsets are fitted in a day, including removal of the old door, fixing the new frame and making good. Made-to-measure doorsets have a manufacturing lead time, which we confirm with the quote.
Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Seaham 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.
