Options that matter on site

Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
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 Essex, 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in the East of England 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.
