Steel door delivery preparation and safe handling

Lead times

Confirmed in writing at quotation and order stage.

Lead times vary depending on door type, configuration, and finish. Indicative lead times are confirmed in writing at quotation and order stage. Once an order has entered production, changes are not possible without affecting lead times.

Tip: If your site has a tight programme, tell us early so delivery planning can align with your installation date.

Delivery method

Kerbside delivery via specialist carriers.

Steel doors are delivered by specialist carriers using framed transport. Delivery is kerbside only. For insurance and health and safety reasons, drivers are unable to assist with moving doors beyond the delivery point.

Important: Please plan how doors will be moved from kerbside to storage/installation location before the delivery day.

Offloading requirements

Manpower or mechanical assistance required.

Steel doors are heavy and require suitable manpower or mechanical assistance to offload safely. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the delivery can be safely offloaded.

  • Adequate personnel are present at delivery
  • Suitable lifting equipment is available if required
  • The delivery area is clear and accessible
Warning: If safe offloading is not possible, delivery may be aborted.

Site access and preparation

Communicate restrictions in advance.

Please ensure your site is prepared for delivery:

  • Clear access for delivery vehicles
  • Adequate space to offload and store doors
  • Any site restrictions communicated in advance
Note: Failure to ensure access/preparation may result in delays or additional delivery charges.

Inspection on delivery

Inspect before discarding packaging.

All goods must be inspected on delivery. Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery paperwork and reported to us immediately. Packaging should not be discarded until goods have been fully checked.

Important: Photograph any issues immediately (packaging + product) and email us the same day.

Storage prior to installation

Keep doors dry, upright and protected.

Steel doors should be stored:

  • Indoors, in a dry and secure location
  • Upright and supported correctly
  • Protected from moisture, impact, and site traffic
Warning: Incorrect storage may affect performance and finish.

Failed or aborted deliveries

Re-delivery charges may apply.

If delivery cannot be completed due to site access issues, lack of offloading assistance, or other preventable causes, re-delivery charges may apply.

Delivery locations

Remote/restricted areas may cost more.

We deliver throughout the UK mainland. Deliveries to remote or restricted locations may be subject to additional charges or extended lead times.

Why this matters

Protect finish, fit and performance.

Steel doors, particularly FD30 fire rated steel doors, are precision manufactured products. Proper delivery handling helps ensure they arrive in perfect condition and perform as intended once installed.
