Fire exit doors in Bangor, done to the evidence
Looking for fire exit doors in Bangor? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bangor and the wider County Down area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Bangor, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to high-street shops. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Bangor each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Bangor 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
The regulations behind fire doors in Bangor
Bangor 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 Bangor are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you work in Bangor?

What happens on a survey in Bangor?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
