With multiple sizes, finishes and performance ratings available, we have access solutions to meet the demands of modern construction projects.
Riser doors and access panels are installed to provide access to hidden services within a building. These may include electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC equipment, data cabling and other mechanical services that require regular inspection or maintenance.
Service riser doors are commonly fitted to vertical shafts or cupboards found in apartment blocks, offices and commercial buildings. Access panels, meanwhile, are often installed in walls and ceilings to allow entry to concealed areas without the need for disruptive building work.
By providing a secure yet accessible opening, riser doors and access hatches help maintain a clean appearance while ensuring engineers and maintenance teams can quickly reach critical infrastructure when required.
We understand the importance of reliability, compliance and ease of installation. Our range has been selected to meet the needs of contractors, developers and facilities managers alike.
Benefits of our riser doors and access panels include:
Whether you need an inspection hatch for routine maintenance or a secure riser door for a service cupboard, we offer products built to perform in demanding environments.
Fire protection is a critical consideration in modern building design. Many of our fire-rated riser doors and access panels are available with ratings of up to 120 minutes, helping to slow the spread of fire and maintain compartmentation within a building.
Fire-rated access panels are widely used in service risers, plant rooms, corridors and communal areas where building regulations require enhanced fire resistance. By selecting the appropriate specification, you can help ensure compliance while protecting occupants and infrastructure.
Our access panels are designed with efficiency in mind. Many models feature simple installation systems that reduce fitting time and minimise disruption on site.
Suitable for use in plasterboard walls, masonry openings and suspended ceilings, our range includes solutions for both new-build and refurbishment projects. Adjustable hinges, lock options and removable doors provide flexibility for a wide range of applications.
Where standard sizes are unsuitable, bespoke access panels can also be specified to meet project requirements.
From compact plastic access panels to heavy-duty metal riser doors, we supply access solutions for projects of all sizes. Whether you’re fitting out a residential property or managing a large commercial development, we offer products designed to meet current building standards while providing long-term reliability.
