Regulations for fire exit doors in Kent

In Tonbridge, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

Questions about fire exit doors in Tonbridge

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Tonbridge?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Tonbridge.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Tonbridge?

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.

Can a fire exit door be locked?

Not in a way that prevents instant exit without a key while the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware achieves security and escape together.
