Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Somerset

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.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Examples of work we can quote for

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Somerset, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Somerset can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Somerset: your questions

Can a steel door at our Somerset 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Somerset?

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 Somerset 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.
