Before quoting for an exit door in County Armagh, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Shops, warehouses and schools in County Armagh each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in County Armagh can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Is every fire exit door a fire door?
Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.

Fire exit doors questions
Do you provide fire exit doors across County Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon and Portadown. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
