What we fit in Hammersmith

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.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.

Typical scopes of work

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Hammersmith, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Hammersmith

Can our Hammersmith 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.

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 Hammersmith?

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.
