Cold store and freezer doors in Campbeltown

At a glance

Temperature-controlled rooms in Campbeltown (PA28) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

Town: Campbeltown
Postcode district: PA28
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.

What this work can involve

Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Campbeltown

Campbeltown is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Why is our cold room door in Campbeltown 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.

Can our cold store door in Campbeltown be made electric?

Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Campbeltown site without losing stock?

We plan the change with you and your refrigeration engineer. Many doors can be swapped in a day, sometimes with stock moved or the plant set back temporarily, so the room returns to temperature quickly.
