Riser and cupboard fire doors in Runcorn

Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Runcorn

From the WA7 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Runcorn for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Runcorn protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Runcorn blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Runcorn, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.

Closer or lock?

Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.

Each installation includes:

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