Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.
Complete doorsets. Frame, leaf, hinges and hardware supplied as one set.
Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing a leaf-and-a-half steel doorset so equipment can pass through a plant room door when needed.
Fitting a louvred double steel door to a plant room or electrical switch room to keep it ventilated and secure.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in West Sussex, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in West Sussex

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our West Sussex 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.

Can a steel door at our West Sussex 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.

Can our West Sussex fire exit be locked from outside?

Yes. It can be secure from outside, with a key or code device or no external hardware, as long as it always opens from inside using the exit hardware. Never lock or chain a fire exit while people are in the building.
