What fire exit doors in Deeside should include
Our fire exit doors service in Deeside is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Deeside has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, schools and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Deeside each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Deeside, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Commissioning and handover
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Fire door law for Deeside properties
Because Deeside is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Deeside comes from your fire risk assessment.

Do fire exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
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.
