Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Heswall, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Heswall can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Can our Heswall fire exit be locked from outside?

Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.

Can a steel door at our Heswall unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Heswall site?

If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.
