Steel personnel and fire exit doors in Sudbury

The short version

Each steel door project in Sudbury starts with a free survey of the opening, escape route and security needs, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts on site.

Town: Sudbury
Postcode district: CO10
Area: Suffolk
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Sudbury 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

For busy sites in Suffolk 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.

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.
