Options that matter on site

Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
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.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Barking 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Barking can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Barking: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Barking 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.

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Barking?

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 a steel door at our Barking unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.
