Fire exit doors for Burnham-on-Sea buildings
When you book fire exit doors in Burnham-on-Sea, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Burnham-on-Sea has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Exit doors in Burnham-on-Sea can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Burnham-on-Sea each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
Is every fire exit door a fire door?
Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Commissioning and handover
