Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Oakham

Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

What this work can involve

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Oakham 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
