Options that matter on site

Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Outside access. Key or code access from outside while the exit stays free from inside.
Security options. Hinge bolts, multi-point locks and LPS 1175 rated doorsets.
Panic hardware. Where visitors or the public might need to escape, we fit full-width panic bars to BS EN 1125.
Fire-rated doorsets. Where a door must hold back fire, we supply tested fire-rated doorsets and fit them exactly as specified.

What this work can involve

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.
Fitting hinge bolts and a multi-point lock to a steel back door to resist levering and forced entry.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in North Shields, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
