Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Lytham St Annes
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Lytham St Annes and the wider Lancashire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Lytham St Annes, family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats 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.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Lytham St Annes blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Lytham St Annes, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

Questions from Lytham St Annes
Is Lytham St Annes within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lytham St Annes in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Blackpool. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Lytham St Annes 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.
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.
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.
