Town: Abingdon
Postcode district: OX14
Area: Oxfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.

Typical scopes of work

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
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.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Abingdon 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
