Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

What you get:

• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Single and double flush configurations
