Options that matter on site

Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
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.

Door rules for workplaces in Wales

Doors in Cardiff 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, as it applies in Wales, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Cardiff 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.

Questions from businesses in Cardiff

Can a steel door at our Cardiff 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 Cardiff?

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 Cardiff 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.
