Options that matter on site
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
- Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
- Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
What this work can involve
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Didcot, 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.
Planning the work around your site
