Options that matter on site

Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Purley 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

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
