Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Atherton

The short version

Each steel door project in Atherton starts with a free survey of the opening, escape route and security needs, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts on site.

Town: Atherton
Postcode district: M46
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
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.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
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 Atherton 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
