Emergency exit

A specially commissioned, aluminium, double leaf floor access door, manufactured by Bilco, has been installed at King's Cross Station as part of a major refurbishment programme. The bespoke floor access door, which measures more than three by one metre, has been installed at ground floor level at the top of a flight of stairs. It provides an emergency exit for staff working in the basement floor.

Manufactured to the exact specifications of its designers, the type JD-AL door was supplied by Bilco with a grating, panic lock and handrail which were also fitted. Bilco is a specialist supplier of roof hatches, smoke vents, floor doors and fixed vertical and retractable ladders.
