Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Airdrie
From the ML6 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Airdrie for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Airdrie has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small blocks of flats and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Airdrie blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Airdrie, 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:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Airdrie
In Airdrie, 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 from Airdrie
Do you work in Airdrie?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Airdrie and the surrounding area, including Coatbridge and Motherwell. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
