Town: Kirkwall
Postcode district: KW15
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
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.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Kirkwall, 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Can our Kirkwall 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.

Can a steel door at our Kirkwall 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Kirkwall?

Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.
