2 THE LAIDLAW SERVICE INTRODUCTION Laidlaw is the leading specifier, distributor and technical service provider of architectural hardware to the UK construction industry. Laidlaw is able to offer a wide range of architectural products that combine design and function across a broad band of product categories. This is achieved by working closely with manufacturing partners ensuring consistent quality and performance are achieved from the products offered and by keeping up to date with market requirements and technical specifications to ensure Laidlaw remains at the forefront of the markets it serves. In addition to the renowned Orbis brand, the Laidlaw portfolio also incorporates specialist product areas such as Security Systems, Balustrades and AntiLigature fittings. For further information on any of the Laidlaw products and services, please visit our website at and refer to the full range of product brochures or alternatively, call one of the Laidlaw branches nationwide as listed on the back page of this brochure. Standards & Testing BS Performance standards Many of the product types within the Orbis 800 range have been developed specifically to meet or exceed the latest European Standards. CE Marking Where CE marking is permitted, items are marked with the CE icon and the classification is indicated against each item where this is appropriate. Specification Advice Laidlaw's team of GAI trained consultants is available to assist with all of the detailed product enquiries associated with the increasingly complex subject of hardware specification. Whether it be advice on product specification to meet guidelines defined under Equality Act, AD M, and BS 800 or test certification for fire door applications, your local Laidlaw Technical Consultant is always on hand to guide you to the most appropriate specification. Product Development Orbis products are subject to continual design and manufacturing development in order to improve performance or to meet the changing demands of standards, testing or other building legislation. Declaration of Performance (DoP) The Declaration of Performance is a key part of the Construction Products Regulation. It provides information on the performance of a product. Each construction product covered by a European harmonised standard or for which a European Technical Assessment has been issued needs this Declaration and has to be CE marked. Visit dop for full details. Fire Testing This icon indicates the items have been successfully included in fire tests. Please contact Laidlaw for full details of the certification. Project Management Having provided guidance in the specification and selection of appropriate products, Laidlaw's scheduling team will produce fully detailed, door by door ironmongery schedules along with a full bill of materials. Laidlaw will then project manage the supply of product including the manufacture of special or bespoke items; supply of relevant installation drawings; and, where necessary, certification and delivery schedules. CPD seminars Laidlaw is an approved member of the RIBA CPD Providers Network which offers architects and other construction professionals high quality CPD material. As part of our ongoing commitment to education and training, we offer a series of 4 RIBA approved CPD s covering a wide range of hardware related subjects including one of the core curriculum subjects, Access for All. Packaging and Delivery Laidlaw will work alongside the customer's project management team to ensure the product arrives on site in the most appropriate form. This could include labelling to the architect's door numbers, or already installed as part of a doorset package. Laidlaw will ensure deliveries are made in full and on time. SERIES is a selection of quality products developed by Laidlaw to meet the growing need for performance at a competitive price. We are pleased to introduce a range of new levers in a variety of finishes to ensure you can find the right product to meet your needs. The range is available from our Sales Centres across the UK. For larger project requirements, a door bagging service is available on this range subject to a surcharge. Ordering Products Due to the number of finishes available, when ordering please remember to specify the finish code e.g LA02.5SS The products listed within this publication are subject to a 2 year guarantee against defects proved to be the result of faulty manufacture or defective materials. Extended guarantees can be obtained for specific projects on application via your Laidlaw Technical Consultant and subject to an agreed maintenance programme. Equality Act, AD M & BS 800 The principal of ensuring buildings are accessible to able and less able people alike is manifest in Approved Document M of the Building Regulations and with further guidance in BS 800. The disabled symbol is used throughout this document to identify those Orbis 800 Series items which meet these requirements. Further information on standards and testing can be found at the back of this brochure

To suit door size and weight (see chart opposite) To suit likely traffic volumes and frequency of use Adjustable closers allow for unknown door details and site variables such as air pressure, draught seals etc. Additional features such as holdopen or delayed action which gives slow moving traffic time to clear the door Backcheck facility prevents damage to adjacent door and wall surfaces Slide arm closers are visually neat and reduce the opportunity for abuse and vandalism Concealed closers offer the ultimate aesthetic solution size max. door width max. door weight 750mm 20kg 2 850mm 40kg 950mm 60kg 4 00mm 80kg 5 250mm 00kg 6 400mm 20kg Special applications For some users, elderly, young or disabled persons, a door fitted with a door closer can become a barrier. To allow free and easy access for all Approved Document M of The Building Regulations and BS 800 prescribes a recommended opening force. This is in direct conflict with the requirements for fire doors which have a prescribed (and mandatory) minimum closing force. Laidlaw offers a number of solutions: Orbis Cam Action closers are high efficiency closers which are capable of meeting both requirements Electromagnetic holdopen closers offer no resistance to opening but on activation of the fire alarm or smoke detection system will close the door automatically to maintain fire and smoke integrity. Please contact Laidlaw for more detailed information on these and any other special requirements.

BS Standards are the benchmark for product performance in several major product areas within architectural hardware. Each standard prescribes a set of test procedures for products which are selected at random from stock production items. The test data and product evaluation produces a multi digit classification code which runs in parallel across each product area (or as close as practically possible). The relevant BS standards are summarised opposite. Further details of these BS standards are available from The Association of Builders Hardware Manufacturers at org.uk CE Marking is applicable only to those products where the BS Standard has been harmonised under the Construction Products Directive. Declaration of Performance As of July st 20 if a product falls under the scope of a harmonised standard it must be CE marked before it can be placed on the market A D of P ( Declaration of Performance) must be made available for every CE marked product. Please refer to our website for full details dop The standards compliance of Orbis products falls into categories Performance testing to the latest European standards, including CE marking where this is appropriate Suitability for fire & smoke doors with products successfully included on timber and steel door fire tests Products that are acceptable under the guidelines of the Equalities Act, incorporating Approved Document M of The Buidling Regulations and BS 800.

17 STANDARDS AND BS CLASSIFICATIONS EQUALITY ACT, AD M, AND BS 800 The implementation of legislation in 996 made it a legal duty on those responsible for buildings used by the general public, and employers responsible for places of work, to ensure that the building and its facilities are accessible to disabled people. The aim of The Equality Act is to make it a duty to avoid discrimination against disabled people and this duty requires that Service Providers make "reasonable" adjustments to the design of the building in order to provide this universal level of access. Fire Testing Individual products are not in themselves fire tested, but are included as an integral part of a fire test carried out on a timber or steel fire door. As a consequence, the details of the test, the construction of the door, the inclusion of intumescent material etc must be considered when specifying products suitable for use on a fire door. Where Laidlaw products are indicated as suitable for fire door applications, the products have been successfully included on the test door which has achieved the stated rating. Laidlaw holds comprehensive test certification for all appropriate products and these are available on request. BS 25 & BS 79 Products which are designed to provide safe and effective escape from a building in an emergency situation are covered by two European standards which have clearly defined applications. BS 25 is the European standard for 'Panic Exit Devices'. The primary determining factor is that a 'Panic' device must be fitted where members of the public are present and have no prior knowledge of the exit or the hardware. BS 79 is the standard covering 'Emergency Exit Devices'. In 'Emergency' situations it is assumed the occupants will have prior knowledge of the exit and a panic situation is unlikely to occur. Testing and evaluation to each standard results in a 9 digit code. BS 25 and BS 79 are harmonised under the Construction Products Directive and products must therefore carry the CE mark. Testing and evaluation results in a 9 digit code A AB BS 95 is the European standard for 'Single Axis Hinges' used on doors and windows. Testing and evaluation of the product results in a 8 digit code. BS 95 is harmonised under the Construction Products Directive and products must therefore carry the CE mark. Testing and evaluation results in an 8 digit code Digit Category of Use (Grades ) Grade is high frequency use by the public with a high chance of misuse. Digit 2 Durability (Grades 6 or 7) Cycle testing, Grade 7 having undergone 200,000 cycles Digit Door Mass (Grades 5 or 6) Determined only by door mass of 00g or 200kg Digit 4 Fire Resistance (Grade 0 or ) Grade 0 is not suitable for fire door applications Digit 5 Safety (Grade only) All panic and emergency exit devices have a critical safety function Digit 6 Corrosion Resistance (Grade or 4) Digit 7 Security (Grade 2 only) (Grade 2 4 in BS 79) Digit 8 Projection of Device (Grade or 2) Grade 2 is low projection, less than 00mm Digit 9 Type of Device (Type A or B) BS 25 Type A is a pushbar operation BS 25 Type B is touchbar operation BS 79 Type A is with lever handle operation BS 79 Type B is with push pad operation Digit Category of Use (Grades to 4) Grade is heavy duty use. Digit 2 Durability (Grades, 4 or 7) Cycle testing, Grade 7 having undergone 200,000 cycles Digit Door Mass (Grades 0 to 7) Table of door mass from 0kg up to 60kg Digit 4 Fire Resistance (Grade 0 or ) Grade 0 is not suitable for fire door applications Digit 5 Safety (Grade only) All hinges have a critical safety function Digit 6 Corrosion Resistance (Grades 0 to 4) Grade is high resistance Digit 7 Security (Grade 0 or ) Grade 0 is not suitable for burglar resistance Digit 8 Hinge Grade (Grades to 4) Grading is by combination of test cycles and door mass. Grade is 200,00 cycles of a door mass of up to 20kg The details on this page are a simple summary of the primary sources of information related to the use of hardware products in order to satisfy disabled access. The Equality Act It is important to remember that the Equality Act is civil rights legislation and does not set out specific requirements or guidance in the design of buildings. It was introduced in 200 to replace the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). As such it is therefore not appropriate to attach any notion of conformity to products, such as "Equality Act compliant". In order to satisfy obligations under The Equality Act, buildings must comply (in England & Wales) with The Building Regulations, and in particular, Approved Document M (AD M) which became effective in May 2004 with amendments in 200, 20 and 205. Where certain issues are not covered in ADM, further reference will be made to BS 800. Further detailed information can be obtained from the following: Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Association of Buildiers Hardware Manufacturers BSI Customer Services cservices@bsiglobal.com Approved Document M (ADM), 2004 The main requirements set out in AD M are, as with all parts of The Building Regulations, performance based and the guidelines set out in the document are recognised as one way of achieving the requirements. The scopes of the requirements are clearly set out, requiring that provision is made for people to "a) gain access to and b) use the building and its facilities". This includes the provision of sanitary accommodation in domestic and nondomestic buildings. AD M applies not only to new building but also to alterations and extension of existing buildings. Where certain issues are not covered within AD M, further reference will be made to BS 800. AD M contains a number of very specific requirements for the following aspects related to architectural hardware specification. BS 800: A:200 This standard provides guidance on good practice in the design of buildings to make them suitable for use by disabled people. The standard is often used as a supplement to AD M and includes more specific dimensional guidance, particularly regarding the sizes of door operating hardware. BS 800 contains the following recommendations related to architectural hardware specification. BS 800 contains the following recommendations related to architectural hardware specification. Accessible Doors AD M recognises that negotiating entrance doors can be difficult for the general public, not just disabled people: parents with children, those carrying luggage or with pushchairs etc. It is stated within AD M that doors which are required to be self closing must require a force no greater than 20N at the leading edge in order to open them. In most practical applications "A powered door opening and closing system is the most satisfactory solution for most people" (AD M 2.). Although the 20 Newtons rule technically still exists it has been generally superseded by a twophase criteria established within BS 800 in This states a maximum opening force of 0N at the initial opening stage (0 to 0 ), reducing to 22.5N from 0 to 60 opening angle. Aside from the headline figures of AD M, the guidance in BS 800 points clearly to the use of powered solutions including low energy operators to achieve the level of accessibility required on external doors (including recommendations for the positioning of any manual controls. Closing & Opening forces As can be seen from the chart below, a door closer power size with only the minimum efficiency allowed in the standard (50%) will not satisfy the maximum opening force to satisfy the 20N limit in AD M. Also clearly evident is the fact that a power size closer (the min. allowed in satisfying the requirements for a fire door) has an opening force at the edge of the door beyond the 0N maximum allowed in the revised regulations. Only high efficiency closers will therefore meet the dual requirements for an accessible fire door. BS 54 Size Size BS 54 min. closing moment 9 Nm 8 Nm Min. closing force (moment/door width) 0.59 N 2.7 N BS 54 min. closer efficiency 50% 55% Corresponding min. opening force 2.8 N 8.5 N Internal Doors For internal doors which need to be self closing for privacy or environmental reasons, they must meet the maximum opening force criteria of 20N. In these circumstances a high efficiency variable power door control is required. When set to the lowest strength (size ) to reduce the opening force it may cause problems in latching the door, especially in locations which may be susceptible to drafts or air pressure differences. Locks with a 'soft action latch' and high quality hinges will help in making sure the door latches properly each time. Office of Public Sector Information Disability Rights Commission Guild of Architectural Ironmongers Fire & Smoke Doors BS 54 requires fire doors to be held closed by a door closer with BS 54 requires fire doors to be held closed by a door closer with a minimum power size. This requires a force in excess of 20N (see chart below) and therefore puts it into conflict with the 20N opening force requirement of ADM. In these circumstances AD M recommends the use of electromagnetic hold open or low energy door operators. For fire doors within corridors the preference is for electromagnetic 2

18 EQUALITY ACT, AD M, AND BS 800 RIBA APPROVED CPD Approved Document M (ADM) Door Opening Hardware Guidance on the specification for door hardware falls into 2 main categories: ability to grip and operate the hardware ability to visually locate the hardware Lock & latch critical dimensions BS mm minimum 72mm minimum Ability to grip and operate the hardware The requirement within ADM is that "where fitted with a latch, the door opening furniture can be operated with one hand using a closed fist, e.g. a lever handle" (ADM 2.7). Whilst no specific dimensional requirements are laid down in ADM, such recommendations are covered in BS 800. It is a requirement of ADM that external handles (ie those used to open manual external doors), should not be 'cold to the touch'. Whilst most people will find a bare metal handle unpleasant to grip in the depths of winter, for some, particularly elderly people, it can be quite painful. Ability to visually locate the hardware Detailed information overleaf on colour contrast and finishes. Grab rails Part M of Approved Document M of The Building Regulations covers the provision of sanitary facilities. Whilst not specifically part of the Orbis range, we have a full range of grab rails and disabled fittings. Please contact Laidlaw for further details. Building Regulations in Scotland & Northern Ireland Technical Handbooks are published to guide specifiers in Scotland and Northern Ireland in much the same way as ADM but are not as detailed, offering little or no guidance in the specification of door hardware although the amended Technical Booklet (Part R) published in Northern Ireland does contain specific information related to handrailing and sanitary fittings. In most cases the Handbooks for Scotland refer specifiers to the guidance contained in BS 800. BS 800:2009 Door Opening Hardware BS 800 is more detailed in its recommendations, prescribing dimensional parameters for locks & latches, lever and pull handle furniture. Locks & latches To improve physical and visual access to the lever and lock keyway, the distance from the edge of the door and between the lever and keyway should be maximised; "..the cylinder should either be above the lever handle, or the minimum distance between the handle and the keyway.. should be 72mm." (BS ) It also requires a backset of 54mm minimum (from edge of door to the lockcase operating centre see diagram opposite). Lever handles The principal requirements are that "where possible, door opening furnitue with a lever action should be used... without tightly grasping it or twisting the wrist e.g by using a closed fist". It also recommends levers return to the door face at the open end to aid the grip and avoid catching clothing. Dimensional characteristics for lever handles are covered by Fig. 7 of BS 800. See diagram below. Whilst lever handles are the preferred solution, there are circumstances where other issues can take precedence. The requirement to prevent self harm is one such issue where the risk associated with the lever furniture takes precedence over disabled access. Such situations will be covered by the provision of an Access Statement at the planning stage. Pull handles Recommendations are included concerning the positioning and size of pull handles Minimum diameter 9mm Projection from door face 45mm Mounting height for pull handles as shown below horizontal pull handle/rail 9mmØ 'generous length' mm (900 preferred) 45mm minimum 400mm kicking plate min. 00mm min.700mm max. 000mm Recommendations also include the provision of a horizontal pull handle on doors fitted with a latch to enable wheelchair users to pull the door closed.see diagram above. min. 00mm C O R E RIBA CPD C U R R I C U L U M Laidlaw is an approved member of the RIBA CPD Providers Network which offers architects and other construction professionals high quality CPD material. All material provided is rigorously assessed within strict guidelines by RIBA's team of assessors who are all RIBA members and practising architects. The seminars last for approximately 50 minutes and are supplemented with working models, literature and handouts. The additional benefit of a RIBA Providers Network CPD is that it is worth double points under the RIBA CPD system. The RIBA Core Curriculum has been created for its members to ensure that key architectural skills are covered in learning activities. Chartered members are obliged to undertake a minimum of 20 of their yearly 5 hours CPD from this curriculum, with two hours of CPD time in each of ten key topics. As part of our commitment to education and training, we offer a series of 4 RIBA approved CPD s covering a range of hardware topics including Access For All, which is one of the approved Core Curriculum subjects: Access For All Driven by the requirements of the Equality Act, we look at Light reflectance values of doors and hardware, door opening force requirements, accessibility into buildings, minimum requirements for door hardware in terms of product size and performance criteria. Some examples are given of incorrect inclusive design in public buildings and the corrective solutions. Helping to Specify Architectural Ironmongery this covers Specification procedures and Declaration of Performance Certification awareness levels and how it affects your clients. Also it covers a basic introduction into Hinges, Door Closers, Door Hardware, Locks, Access Control, Anti Ligature Products, Access Control and miscellaneous items. Help is given on scheduling a typical building with some interactive scheduling questions. Integrated Doorsets this covers what CE marking of Doorsets actually means and the benefits of an integrated offer with regards to accuracy of installation, site management, and cost reduction. Other topics include: what constitutes a doorset, standards, an explanation of different door finishes and where they are best used, hardware selection and some specialist ironmongery requirements. Handrails and Balustrades: The Specifiers Guide we take a close look at the Equality Act and how this affects Handrails and Balustrades. We cover Light Reflectance Values and how this is measured, rail heights and projections, heat abstraction data of different handrail materials to see which are genuinely not cold to touch, loading forces, material options and strength of toughened glass infills. Finally we cover some case studies and solutions to different challenges. If you would like to book a presentation please contact Laidlaw on For further information, please visit our website
