Fire exit doors in Musselburgh, done to the evidence
If you need fire exit doors in Musselburgh, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Musselburgh range from light industrial buildings to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Before quoting for an exit door in Musselburgh, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Musselburgh 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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing

Questions from Musselburgh
Is Musselburgh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Musselburgh in Edinburgh & the Lothians and neighbouring towns such as Edinburgh. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Musselburgh?
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 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.
