In short

Town: Wellington
Postcode district: TF1
Area: Shropshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
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 Wellington, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Shropshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Wellington: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Wellington 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 Wellington 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.

How long does it take to replace a steel door in Wellington?

Most single steel doorsets are fitted in a day, including removal of the old door, fixing the new frame and making good. Made-to-measure doorsets have a manufacturing lead time, which we confirm with the quote.
