What to specify
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
- 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 Ramsgate, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
