Panic hardware. Push bars to BS EN 1125 where the public or unfamiliar people may use the exit.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.

What this work can involve

Supplying 60-minute fire-resisting steel doorsets for the compartment walls set out in a building's fire strategy.
Replacing seized BS EN 179 push pads on staff-only exits in a factory or production building.
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 East Grinstead 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Steel personnel and fire exit doors in East Grinstead: your questions

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our East Grinstead 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 our East Grinstead 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.

Can a steel door at our East Grinstead 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.
