Fire exit doors: our service in Craigavon
We provide fire exit doors in Craigavon (BT64 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Craigavon, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to industrial estates. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Craigavon each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Craigavon can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Commissioning and handover
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
Fire door law for Craigavon properties
Craigavon is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Craigavon are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Is Craigavon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Craigavon in County Armagh and neighbouring towns such as Portadown. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Craigavon?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
