Fire exit doors: our service in Omagh
We provide fire exit doors in Omagh (BT78 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Omagh has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Omagh each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Omagh, 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.
Each installation includes:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Commissioning and handover

Questions from Omagh
Is Omagh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Omagh in County Tyrone and neighbouring towns such as Derry. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Omagh building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
