Options that matter on site
- Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Scotland 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.
