Do you cover Bideford?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit fire exit doors throughout Bideford and the rest of Devon, including EX39 and nearby Barnstaple.

Which way does a fire exit door open?

Outward, in the direction of escape, where occupancy requires it — most commercial exit doors open outward.
