What to specify

Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Fire-rated doorsets. Fire-resisting steel doors with the manufacturer's test evidence, fitted to its instructions.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Complete doorsets. Everything comes together as a matched doorset, so it fits and works as designed.

What this work can involve

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.
Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Newmarket 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, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Newmarket: your questions

Do you repair fire exit doors across Suffolk?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Suffolk. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.

Can a steel door at our Newmarket 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.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Newmarket 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.
