What to specify

Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.

What this work can involve

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Leicestershire, 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

Sites in and around Leicestershire 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.
