What fire exit doors in Lytham St Annes should include
Our fire exit doors service covers Lytham St Annes 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 Lytham St Annes protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Before quoting for an exit door in Lytham St Annes, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Lytham St Annes can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options

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.
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.
