Fire exit doors are one of the most important safety features in any building. Whether it’s a school, office, warehouse, or industrial site, these doors provide a critical escape route in the event of an emergency. To perform as intended, they must be properly installed, serviced, and maintained. At UK Doors & Shutters, we specialise in the installation, repair, and servicing of fire exit doors across Bolton and the North West of England, ensuring that businesses and institutions remain compliant and, most importantly, safe.

Why Professional Fire Exit Door Installation Matters

Installing a fire exit door isn’t just a matter of fitting a door into a frame. These doors are designed with specific features—such as fire-resistant materials, panic hardware, and self-closing mechanisms—that must meet strict UK safety regulations.

A poorly installed door could jam, fail to close properly, or not withstand fire long enough to allow safe evacuation. That’s why professional installation is essential. Our team at UK Doors & Shutters ensures every door is fitted correctly, aligned with safety codes, ...
... and fully functional from day one.

Step-by-Step Guide: What to Expect During Fire Exit Door Installation

When you book a fire exit door installation with us, we follow a clear, detailed process to guarantee safety and compliance:

Site Survey – We assess your premises to determine the right type, size, and positioning of fire exit doors based on layout and regulations.
Product Selection – We supply high-quality, compliant fire exit doors with panic bars, safety glazing (if required), and fire-rated hardware.
Professional Installation – Our engineers install the door with precision, ensuring correct fitting, secure frames, and reliable closing mechanisms.
Compliance Testing – Once installed, we carry out full operational checks to ensure the door meets British Standards (BS EN 1634, BS 9999) and local fire safety codes.
Handover & Guidance – We provide clear instructions for staff on how to use and test the fire exit system.
This thorough approach means you don’t just get a door—you get peace of mind that your fire safety compliance is in expert hands.

Proper Fire Exit Door Installation and Servicing Boosts Workplace Safety

In busy environments such as schools, offices, and industrial sites, fire exit doors are used regularly for drills and sometimes as secondary entrances. With constant use, wear and tear is inevitable.

That’s where servicing comes in. Regular servicing ensures panic bars aren’t sticking, hinges aren’t loose, and seals remain effective. For schools, this means pupils and staff can always evacuate quickly. For offices and warehouses, it ensures compliance with Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements and keeps insurance policies valid.

Without routine checks, small faults—like a stiff mechanism or broken closer—can turn into major safety risks. Proper installation combined with regular servicing is the best way to safeguard both people and property.
