Options for steel personnel and fire exit doors in Gateshead
- Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
- Galvanised steel. Double-skin galvanised steel leaves with powder-coated finishes.
- Security options. From hinge bolts to certified security doorsets, the door can be specified to resist attack.
- Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
- Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
- Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
- Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Gateshead 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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Tyne and Wear 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.
