Composite and steel doors in Cumbria
Businesses across the North West take deliveries in different ways, so we size your Cumbria rear door around roll cages, pallets or whatever you handle.
Your Cumbria shop may have a rear door that gets little attention, so we check how it locks, seals and closes before quoting. A worn frame can undo a good door, so on your Cumbria job in the North West we check the wall, fixings and threshold first.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cumbria, including Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle, Kendal, Penrith.
Can a steel door be a fire exit?
Yes, provided it opens in the direction of escape where required and has hardware that works without a key. BS EN 1125 panic bars or BS EN 179 emergency exit devices are used for this. Your fire risk assessment should confirm what the door needs.
Is a composite door suitable for a flat above a shop?
Yes, as long as the fire requirements are met. A door from a shared stair or from the shop into a flat may need to be a fire door, so a standard composite door is not always right. Fire-rated composite doorsets exist for that use.
Is a composite or steel door better for a shop's back door?
Steel is usually the stronger choice for a rear lane or yard door, and composite suits a door that also needs to look good and keep heat in. Composite doors can be tested to PAS 24, so the real answer depends on risk, use and appearance.
