From the PO21 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Bognor Regis for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Bognor Regis range from schools to low-rise blocks of flats and industrial estates. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Exit doors in Bognor Regis can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Bognor Regis 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber

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.
