Fire exit doors: our service in Burnley
Our fire exit doors service covers Burnley and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Burnley protect escape routes in care homes, schools and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Burnley each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Burnley, 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.
What you get:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
Fire door law for Burnley properties
Fire doors in Burnley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Burnley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
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.
