What to specify
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Powered door rules in Northern Ireland
Ballymena is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained.

Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in County Antrim the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Why is our cold room door in Ballymena hard to open after it closes?
Usually negative pressure: air inside cools and contracts once the door seals. A correctly sized pressure relief valve, heated on freezers, solves this. We check for one on survey and can fit it with a new door.
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Ballymena?
Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Ballymena.
What safety release do cold store doors in Ballymena need?
Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
