Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Rutland

The short version

Each steel door project in Rutland starts with a free survey of the opening, escape route and security needs, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts on site.

Area: Rutland
Nation: England
Main town: Oakham
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
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.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Rutland 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

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.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Rutland: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Rutland 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 a steel door at our Rutland unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.

Do you repair fire exit doors across the East Midlands?

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