Install at frame stage.
Save time. Save money.

Stairlock’s Easy MDF system goes in at frame stage, before plastering, using our moisture-resistant E0 grade board. On volume residential and townhouse developments that’s an advantage: a fast, repeatable install on every lot, on top of the standard 25-year MDF guarantee.

  • Upper levels, reachable sooner
    Installed at frame stage, our stairs give trades a permanent staircase instead of a ladder up an open void, so upper floors are reachable earlier and safely, keeping every trade moving.
  • Speeds up your build timeline
    Trades move faster when they're not managing ladder access. Frame-stage installation consistently reduces time to lock-up.
  • Patented dovetail installation system
    The Stairlock staircase systems use a patented dovetail construction – recognised as one of the most time-efficient installation methods available.

Common questions

Questions About Partnering With Stairlock.

Yes, and many of our customers prefer it. Installing our MDF stairs at frame stage gives your trades safe, permanent access between levels from day one, instead of ladders and temporary treads. It keeps the site moving, and it means we’re not coming back for a separate install later. If you’re choosing a custom timber staircases, these have different requirements before installation occurs, depending on your design.

Both, from the same account. We run repeatable MDF stairs across townhouse and volume developments, priced and scheduled to keep every unit moving, and we build one-off architectural staircases in solid timber, open rise, with glass or steel balustrade – whatever the drawings call for. The project changes, the supplier doesn’t.

No, and that’s deliberate. We supply and install the staircase, balustrade and handrails to a consistent, ready-to-finish standard, and leave the staining, painting and floor coverings to your finishing trades. It keeps our lead times tight and hands your painters and floor layers a clean, square stair to work with.

Yes. Once a staircase is installed it wears site traffic for the rest of the build, so on American Oak veneer and custom timber staircases we offer optional MDF protection boards. Laid over the treads, they take the knocks, spills and boot traffic, so the finished timber underneath stays mark-free and ready to hand over.
