Options that matter on site

Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Hertfordshire 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Hertfordshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
