Fire exit doors for Lichfield buildings

If you need fire exit doors in Lichfield, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Lichfield has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Shops, warehouses and schools in Lichfield each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Lichfield can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

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
• Outside access devices and alarmed options
• Weather and threshold detailing
• Commissioning and handover

Fire door law for Lichfield properties

In Lichfield, 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 Lichfield 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.
