What we fit in Rushden

Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Rushden workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
