What to specify

Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
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.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Chingford, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
