Fire exit doors in Burngreave: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burngreave, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Burngreave, light industrial buildings, small offices and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Exit doors in Burngreave can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Burngreave each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing

How quickly can you survey in Burngreave?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
