Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Wigan, 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

Most installations in Wigan can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Wigan

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Wigan 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 a steel door at our Wigan 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Wigan?

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.
