Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Door rules for workplaces in Scotland

Doors in Stornoway 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Stornoway 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.
