What to specify
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- 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 Basildon, 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 Essex 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.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Basildon: your questions
Can our Basildon fire exit be locked from outside?
Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.
How long does it take to replace a steel door in Basildon?
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.
Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Basildon?
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.
