What we fit in Barnet

Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
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.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.

What this work can involve

Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Barnet 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Barnet: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Barnet 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.

Can our Barnet 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 Barnet?

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.
