FIRE ESCAPE DOORS are not fire rated and will usually exit to the outside from a building. Fire escape doors are equipped with panic hardware together with additional ironmongery such as external deadlocks that the panic hardware can override. However, fire exit doors do not necessarily offer the best security unless additional hardware is specified.
Steel FIRE DOORS are usually installed between two rooms and are tested to BS 476, Part 22 to give a maximum of four hours fire protection.
Based in Sheffield, dp Doors & Shutters operates from an 8000 ft2 factory and supplies and installs a wide range of industrial doors, shutters and grilles across the UK.
DP Doors commenced trading in 1997 and have 19 years’ experience supplying and installing industrial doors.
Clients range from high street shops to international airports and blue chip manufacturing companies. On-site work is by in-house staff or by members of a nationwide portfolio of labour-only subcontractors who can attend to repairs on the same day as call-out.
The company employs its own Health & Safety consultant who liaises with clients to confirm requirements for on-site working and ensures that all in-house engineers are trained and equipped to meet all relevant H.&S. Standards and safe systems of work. Risk Assessments/Method Statements are prepared to ensure that work is carried out safely and successfully.
All company engineers are trained in the use of hydraulic access platforms and the erection of mobile scaffold towers and have completed Passport to Safety courses.
