What we fit in Eccles

Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.

What this work can involve

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Eccles 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Eccles: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Eccles 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.

Can our Eccles 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Eccles?

Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.
