MBP Door Solutions, the UK’s largest independent stockist of fire-rated and non-fire doors, has announced a new partnership with Quanex, enabling MBP to supply the industry-leading ProFab Steel Riser Door Systems to its customers.

The partnership significantly strengthens MBP’s existing timber riser door and timber doorset offer, giving customers a single, reliable point of contact for all door requirements across residential and commercial projects.

This launch responds directly to a clear market shift towards steel riser doors, which are increasingly specified across new-build and refurbishment schemes. As riser shafts play a critical role in fire compartmentation and access to essential building services, specifiers are favouring materials that offer long-term structural integrity and reduced risk.

Their durable powder-coated finishes require minimal ongoing maintenance, delivering long-term cost savings for building owners, reducing the need for remedial works over the life of a building, particularly in high-traffic or multi-occupancy environments.

The new bespoke steel riser door range offers non-fire-rated and fire-rated solutions up to two hours, with a wide choice of door configurations, hinges and frame designs to suit varying applications. Manufactured in the UK, these virtually invisible door systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with contemporary interior finishes.

Commenting on the launch, Paul Smith, Group Sales Director at MBP Door Solutions said: “There is a clear industry shift toward using steel riser doors over traditional timber in both new construction and renovation projects, particularly within commercial, high-rise and residential developments. This transition is being driven by the need for enhanced fire safety, superior durability and easier compliance with increasingly stringent building regulations.

As a complete door solutions provider, our aim is to make procurement as simple as possible. Customers can now come to MBP for all their door requirements, with one dedicated account manager taking full responsibility from order through to completion, rather than having to coordinate multiple suppliers.”

Steve Plater, Sales Director at Quanex added “Quanex has a strong global presence in the manufacturing of building products, and when selecting the right partner, it was clear that MBP Door Solutions closely aligns with our business values.

Their shared commitment to product excellence makes them a natural fit. We are excited to partner with such a respected UK company, and together, our combined industry experience will deliver the highest level of support to our customers on every project.”

The partnership with Quanex reinforces MBP Door Solutions’ commitment to providing future-ready, compliant and high-performance door systems, while maintaining the service, reliability and technical expertise its customers expect.
