Fire exit doors in Warwickshire, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Nuneaton, Rugby or a smaller place in Warwickshire, we can provide fire exit doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Exit doors in Warwickshire can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Warwickshire each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
Fire door work in Warwickshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Warwickshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Warwickshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Warwickshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you provide fire exit doors across Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton and Rugby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
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.
