What to specify
- Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
What this work can involve
- Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Eastleigh, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Hampshire 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.
