What we fit in Sheffield

Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.

What this work can involve

Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
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.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Sheffield, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Sheffield

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

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.

Can our Sheffield 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.

Can you fit fire-rated steel doors in Sheffield?

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.
