Exit and fire safety

Locking must let people out easily while the building is occupied. We work with your fire risk assessment, and fire doors need fire-rated products.

Tested doorset or upgrade

Where an insurer, landlord or specifier names a standard, a doorset tested to it by its maker is the route. Otherwise a strong commercial doorset with laminated glass is often enough.

Glazing rules in England

England

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Security glazed doors and screens in Devon: questions

Which towns in Devon do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot, and in other towns across the area.

Can you just change the glass in my existing door?

Often, if the frame is sound. Laminated glass and internal beads are a good upgrade. If the frame is light or worn, a new doorset is better value.

What is PAS 24?

PAS 24 is a British test standard for the security of doors and windows. A doorset tested to it has been attacked in a set way in a lab. The test belongs to the manufacturer's product as tested, not to the installer.

Can a security door also be a fire exit?

Yes, with the right hardware. Exit doors must open easily from inside while people are present, so we choose locking and panic hardware to suit your fire arrangements.
