Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.

Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.

What this work can involve

Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Hatfield 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

Most installations in Hatfield 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.
