Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Eastbourne
- Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
- Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.

What this work can involve
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
- Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Eastbourne 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
Sites in and around Eastbourne vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
