What riser and cupboard fire doors in Arbroath should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Arbroath, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Arbroath, small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
While fitting riser doors in Arbroath, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Arbroath 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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Fire door law for Arbroath properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Arbroath. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Arbroath are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
