Riser and cupboard fire doors for Stirling buildings
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Stirling (FK9 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Stirling has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Stirling blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Stirling to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Stirling
In Stirling, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions
Do you cover FK9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stirling including FK9, and nearby towns such as Alloa and Falkirk. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stirling building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
