What to specify
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Brighton, 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
For busy sites in East Sussex 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.
