Fire exit & panic bar repairs

Push bars, panic latches and emergency exit doors kept working.

Fire exit door repair keeps emergency escape doors opening instantly from the inside. It covers panic bars and push pads, the vertical rods and latches they operate, outside access devices, closers and hinges. Panic exit hardware for public premises is specified to BS EN 1125 and emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179.

How is the repair carried out?

Escape doors must open without a key or special knowledge, so we repair the hardware to restore that and advise you if a door is being used or secured in a way that would stop it working in an emergency. Fire door certification is not something we issue — that remains with the door manufacturer and your fire risk assessor.

Questions about fire exit & panic bar repairs

How often should fire exit doors be checked?

Your fire risk assessment sets the schedule, but many premises check escape doors weekly. Any door that sticks or fails to release should be repaired straight away.

Can I lock a fire exit door at night?

Security for fire exits must never stop the door opening from inside while people are in the building. We can advise on hardware options, but your fire risk assessor should confirm the arrangement.

Do you certify fire doors?

No. We repair and replace exit hardware. Fire door certification relates to the tested doorset and sits with the manufacturer and a certificated installer or inspector.
