Steel personnel and fire exit doors in South Croydon

The short version

Need a new fire exit door at your premises in South Croydon? We fit steel doors with panic bars to BS EN 1125 or emergency exit devices to BS EN 179, chosen according to who will actually use the exit.

Town: South Croydon
Postcode district: CR2
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.

What this work can involve

Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
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 South Croydon, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
