- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.

Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Whitefield 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Can our Whitefield 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 a steel door at our Whitefield unit be security rated?
Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.
How long does it take to replace a steel door in Whitefield?
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.
