Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Accrington

Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
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.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
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 Accrington, 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

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.
