Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
