What to specify

Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.

What this work can involve

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in South Benfleet, 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

Sites in and around South Benfleet 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.
