Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Northumberland

Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
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 Northumberland, 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.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Northumberland

Can our Northumberland 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 Northumberland 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.

Do you repair fire exit doors across the North East?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across the North East. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.
