Options that matter on site

Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.

What this work can involve

Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
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 Galashiels, 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, 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

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.
