Options that matter on site

Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
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 Merthyr Tydfil, 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, as it applies in Wales, 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

Can a steel door at our Merthyr Tydfil 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.

Can our Merthyr Tydfil 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Merthyr Tydfil 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.
