Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Orpington 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Orpington 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.

Questions from businesses in Orpington

Can our Orpington 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Orpington 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 much is a steel personnel door in Orpington?

Our guide price is £845 to £1,795 ex VAT for a single steel personnel door, or £1,095 to £2,395 for a steel fire exit door with panic hardware, supplied and fitted. We confirm the fixed price for your Orpington premises in writing after a free survey.
