Industry News
Approved Document B Update Mandates Second Escape Staircase in Buildings Over 18m
Changes to Approved Document B, effective this month, now require a second escape staircase in all new residential and commercial buildings exceeding 18 metres in height. For trade installers, this significantly increases the volume of fire-rated door hardware required — including closers, panic hardware, and electromagnetic hold-open devices — across mid- and high-rise projects. Contractors on multi-storey developments already in the pipeline should review their hardware schedules to confirm compliance with the updated escape route requirements. It is worth cross-referencing specifications with your supplier early, as demand for compliant fire door sets and ironmongery is expected to rise sharply through Q4.
Product Spotlight
Window Restrictor Hardware — Friction Stays, Restrictors & Espagnolette Systems
Window restrictor hardware is essential for any commercial or residential building where fall prevention compliance under BS EN 13126 is required. Friction stays allow controlled ventilation while preventing windows from opening beyond a safe limit — typically 100mm for child safety applications. Espagnolette locking systems offer multipoint engagement across the window frame, delivering both security and weathertight performance suited to commercial façades. Door Spares stocks a comprehensive range of window gear from leading manufacturers, all held in stock for same-day despatch.

Installer Tip
Always Check the Load Rating on Friction Stays Before Fitting
Friction stays are load-rated, and fitting an undersized stay to a heavy casement is one of the most common causes of window drop and premature wear on site. Always check the manufacturer's data sheet for maximum sash weight — standard stays typically cover up to 15 kg, while heavy-duty variants handle 20 kg or more. On replacement jobs, measure the existing arm length and inspect the friction peg condition: a worn peg usually means the stay itself needs replacing, not just re-tensioning. A correctly rated stay will hold the window open without creep and satisfies the requirements of BS EN 13126 Part 3.
