Riser and cupboard fire doors in Letchworth Garden City, SG6

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Letchworth Garden City: what's involved

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Letchworth Garden City, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

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

We match riser doors in Letchworth Garden City to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Letchworth Garden City, 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Signage as required
• Single and double flush configurations
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing
