What we fit in Tonbridge

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.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.

What this work can involve

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.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Tonbridge, 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.
