Fire exit doors for Farnham buildings
Our fire exit doors service in Farnham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Farnham has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, small blocks of flats and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Before quoting for an exit door in Farnham, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Farnham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
- Commissioning and handover
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
The regulations behind fire doors in Farnham
Fire doors in Farnham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Farnham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Farnham
Is Farnham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Aldershot. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Farnham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
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.
