What we fit in Waltham Abbey

Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.

Jobs we can carry out

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

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Waltham Abbey 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our Waltham Abbey 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 Waltham Abbey?

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 Waltham Abbey?

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.
