Riser and cupboard fire doors for Bangor buildings
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Bangor, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Bangor, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Bangor, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Bangor blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified

How quickly can you survey in Bangor?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
