Fire exit doors in Halesowen, done to the evidence
If you need fire exit doors in Halesowen, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Halesowen has a broad mix of buildings, including low-rise blocks of flats, care homes and industrial estates, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Before quoting for an exit door in Halesowen, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Halesowen 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.
Each installation includes:
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required

Questions
Do you work in Halesowen?
Yes, we take on fire exit doors in Halesowen and the surrounding area, including Bartley Green and Brierley Hill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Halesowen building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
