What to specify

Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.

What this work can involve

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Kent, 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Kent 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.
