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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required

Questions from Feltham
Do you cover TW14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Feltham including TW14, and nearby towns such as Hanworth and Ashford (Surrey). The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
