What we fit in Shirley

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.
Emergency devices. Staff-only exits used by people who know the door can take BS EN 179 lever or pad hardware.
Louvres and vision. Louvred leaves for plant rooms and vision panels where visibility helps.
Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing a steel staff entrance door with an overhead closer and keypad access beside a loading bay.
Replacing a rotted timber fire exit door with a galvanised steel doorset and a BS EN 1125 panic bar.
Changing worn panic bars on fire exits and adjusting the overhead closers so each door latches properly.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Shirley 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

Most installations in Shirley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
