Fire exit doors in Warrington: what's involved
From the WA1 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Warrington for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Warrington protect escape routes in converted period houses, industrial units and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Before quoting for an exit door in Warrington, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Warrington can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Panic bars or emergency hardware?
Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.
What you get:
- Commissioning and handover
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
Which fire door rules apply in Warrington?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Warrington are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Warrington block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
