Common questions

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.

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.

How is fire exit & panic bar repairs priced in Bristol?

Pricing is the same across South West: a guide range up front and a fixed written price once the job has been measured. There is no extra charge for being outside a city centre.

What should I do before the engineer arrives?

Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
