Riser and cupboard fire doors in Beckenham: what's involved
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Beckenham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Beckenham, converted flats, purpose-built blocks of flats and schools 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.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Beckenham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Beckenham 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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing

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.

Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
