What we fit in Nottingham

Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
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 Nottingham, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Nottingham: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Nottingham 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Nottingham?

Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Nottingham?

Most single steel doorsets are fitted in a day, including removal of the old door, fixing the new frame and making good. Made-to-measure doorsets have a manufacturing lead time, which we confirm with the quote.
