Panic bars or emergency hardware?

The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.

Questions
Is Canning Town within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Canning Town in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Stratford. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Canning Town 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.
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.
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.
