Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Bury

Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.

What this work can involve

Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Bury, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Can our Bury 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.

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Bury?

Most single steel doorsets are fitted in a day, including removal of the old door, fixing the new frame and making good. Made-to-measure doorsets have a manufacturing lead time, which we confirm with the quote.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Bury 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.
