Options that matter on site
- Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- 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 Rochdale, 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.
