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.
Each installation includes:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Weather and threshold detailing
The regulations behind fire doors in Halewood
In Halewood, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Halewood building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs fire exit doors in Halewood?
From hospitality venues to offices, the requirement for fire exit doors in Halewood comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
