Our Fire Escape Door Installation Process
Each installation begins with a detailed site survey and quotation. From this point, we manage the entire process:
- Provide quotations specific to the building type, escape strategy, and regulatory needs
- Order compliant door sets from trusted manufacturers such as Pendle Doors, Howdens, Robust Doors, and Defendoor
- Plan and book work around operational requirements, minimising disruption to staff and users
- Fit the fire escape doors using specialist ironmongery, push bars, vision panels, and anti-corrosion hardware
- Sign off and document installations in line with current fire safety legislation and audit frameworks
All fire escape doors are installed in compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Approved Document B of the Building Regulations, and BS EN 1125 for panic exit devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fire doors and fire escape doors?
Fire doors are designed to contain fire within a compartment, while fire escape doors are intended to allow safe egress during a fire. Fire escape doors must open easily from the inside and often include push bar mechanisms.
Do fire escape doors need to be metal?
Not always. Metal fire escape doors are ideal for harsh environments or exterior use, but timber options are also compliant when properly specified and installed. The key is achieving fire resistance, durability, and accessibility.
Are fire escape doors required to open outwards?
Yes. In most cases, especially in public or high-occupancy buildings, fire escape doors must open in the direction of escape to comply with Building Regulations and reduce evacuation delays.
Can you replace old fire exit doors in live settings?
Yes. Our fire escape installers are trained to work in live NHS, school, and commercial environments, ensuring minimal disruption and full safeguarding procedures.
What kind of documentation do you provide?
We supply installation reports, compliance checklists, and component traceability to support fire safety audits and building regulation sign-offs.
