What fire exit doors in Hadley Wood should include
Our fire exit doors service in Hadley Wood is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Hadley Wood, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Hadley Wood each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Hadley Wood, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
What you get:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber

England's framework applies in Hadley Wood. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Hadley Wood
Do you cover EN4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hadley Wood including EN4, and nearby towns such as Barnet and Potters Bar. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hadley Wood 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.
