Survey: Free for new installations

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.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

What this work can involve

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Herefordshire 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.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

Can our Herefordshire 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire 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.
