What we fit in Portsmouth

Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
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.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.

Jobs we can carry out

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 Portsmouth, 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth

Can a steel door at our Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth?

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.

Do you repair fire exit doors across Hampshire?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Hampshire. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.
