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
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
