What is a Double Emergency Exit Door?
A double emergency exit door is a wide, outward-opening steel door set designed specifically to allow high volumes of people to quickly and safely evacuate a building during an emergency. Fitted with internal panic bars, these doors allow instant egress from the inside while maintaining high levels of exterior security to prevent unauthorised access.
Security Meets Emergency Compliance
Built using the same heavy-duty steel and reinforced framing as our premium personnel doors, our fire exits don’t compromise your building’s security. The door set comes supplied with Exidor double panic bars for reliable push-to-exit functionality.
External Access & Upgrades
By default, emergency exit doors act as blank security doors from the outside. If external access is required, you can add an Outer Access Device (OAD) to your door. This allows entryfrom the outside without compromising the security of the door. You can also customize your door with frame extensions, add additional security with drop bars, and choose from a full range of colours to match your building’s exterior.
FAQs
Can I order this door opening inwards?
Fire exit doors cannot open inwards. In the event of emergency, the door is made to open fast, by rapidly pushing the push bar down and door outwards
How do double doors get delivered?
Your steel double door will be delivered in a minimum of 4 boxes:
2 x door leaves packaged individually
1 x box containing the hinge posts
1 x box containing the head of the frame and the bottom threshold
By delivering your steel double door frame in self-assembly pieces, it reduces the amount of handling of the doors. This in turn reduces associated health and safety risks as the door and frame are delivered in separate, manageable boxes meaning they’re less likely to be dropped causing unnecessary damage to the door.
Please note, delivery is kerbside only. We request that another party is present to help unload.

What are the door sizes? What is the clear opening?
The sizes listed are external frame sizes.
We offer side panels and over panels if you need to add to the width or height of the door. We also offer a cut down service to reduce the height of the door
To calculate the clear opening (when the door is open), subtract 110mm from the width dimension. E.G. 895mm-110mm=760mm clear opening

What is Security Trim?
The security trim kit fits around the perimeter of the door frame, preventing any packing from being seen externally and making the door as a whole more secure.
It hides un-level or large gaps, hides the position of fixings eliminating the risk of tampering from intruders and crucially protects the fixings from attack.
