Options that matter on site
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
- Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Melton Mowbray, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
