What to specify

Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.

Typical scopes of work

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
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 Failsworth 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Greater Manchester 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.
