Fire & Life Safety
High traffic areas such as rail stations and platforms are often designed to facilitate quick evacuation to get to safety in the event of an emergency. Below are some of our fire and life-safety solutions for use within rail stations and platforms.
Double Acting Slimline
Surelock McGill have designed and manufactured a highly reliable door bolting system that operates in both directions, and is third party certified to EN 1125 and EN 179. Our double acting doors allow single action escape on both sides, and with 316 grade stainless steel construction the system maintains high levels of durability and wear resistance for use within high-corrosive environments. With ‘infinite’ restraint the bolt position is held throughout opening travel, to ensure the door returns to its secured position, even when the bolt has not been fully retracted.
- Certified single action escape from either direction
- BS EN 1125 & 179 compliant in both directions
- Available on single or double doorsets
Highly reliable, cross passage, door bolting system that operates in both directions.

Surelock McGill hinges are designed for heavy duty security, blast and ballistic doorsets. Offering unrivalled levels of load carrying capability, these hinges have been successfully security tested to LPS 1175 security levels SR 2, 3 and 4 on selected doorsets. Manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel for high levels of durability and wear resistance within high-corrosive environments.
- HA 6 – EN 1935 compliant (CE MARKED) & suitable for loads up to 600KG*
- HA 7 – EN 1935 compliant (CE MARKED) & suitable for loads up to 900KG*
- HA 8 – surfaced mounted only & suitable for loads up to 2300KG*
*3 hinges mounted on a door leaf 1.2M wide by 2.2M tall
Standards
At the core of the Surelock McGill business is the desire to ensure its products meet all the latest required International standards typically relating to Life Safety, Security, Ballistic, Blast, Hurricane and Seismic test criteria. A crucial update in the standards relating to fire safety in railway buildings:
BS 9992:2020
Referring to the guidance of BS 9999:2017 (Fire safety in design, management and use of buildings – Code of Practice), BS 9992:2020 is a new Code of Practice for fire safety management specifically for rail infrastructure. The diverse range of rail structures poses a unique set of challenges for fire safety, alongside the need to consider the number of people in a station which can change rapidly during peak times. An example of potential new design considerations would be ensuring that a panic escape is reachable within 20 meters from the train doors.
EN 1634-1 & BS EN 476 pt 22
Two separate standards, both measuring the performance of fire resistant doorsets based on the length of time they can insulate and maintain integrity during a fire. Ensuring doorsets are tested and certified is critical to ensuring the safety of both staff and members of the public, giving plenty of time for individuals to escape or await rescue.
BS EN 1125 & BS EN 179
Covering panic and emergency escape respectively, these two standards ensure that appropriate escape hardware is fitted onto a door depending on the environment. BS EN 1125 covers panic escape scenario’s where there may be members of the public, or a large number of personnel, in a room. BS EN 179 covers doors where emergency escape may be required, however would only need to be operated a small number of trained personnel who are familiar with health and safety policy, are aware of building exits, and less likely to develop a panic situation.
Gate Locking
Many rail stations and platforms continue to use out-dated, uncertified and exploitable gate locking systems, despite perimeter gates and fencing being the first chance to deter and delay an intruder. Ensuring your gate locking systems are resistant against physical attacks, able to delay unauthorised entry to rail stations and platforms and allow time for a response from security or local authorities, reduces the risk to both members of public and personnel. Surelock McGill offer a range of single and multi-point gate locks, life-safety approved to EN 1175 & 179 and LPS 1175 security tested as part of a complete doorset. Manufactured in fully stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance for external applications.

Sliding Doors & Gates
When space in stations and on platforms is limited, a door swinging open can be a danger to the public and personnel, a sliding door can often be the desired solution to combat this risk.
