What we fit in Farnworth
- Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- 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.
- Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- 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 Farnworth 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 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.
