What we fit in Hawick

Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
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.

What this work can involve

Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Hawick, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Hawick vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Hawick 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 you fit fire-rated steel doors in Hawick?

Yes. We supply fire-resisting steel doorsets with the manufacturer's test evidence for the rating your fire strategy needs, and install them strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, including seals, gaps and approved hardware.

Can our Hawick fire exit be locked from outside?

Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.
