Area: Greater Manchester
Nation: England
Main town: Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Greater Manchester 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in the North West 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.
