Town: Brentwood
Postcode district: CM14
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.

Typical scopes of work

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
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.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Brentwood 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Brentwood: your questions

Can our Brentwood 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Brentwood site?

If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.

Do you repair fire exit doors across Essex?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Essex. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.
