Town: Helensburgh
Postcode district: G84
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.

Typical scopes of work

Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Helensburgh?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Helensburgh vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Helensburgh?

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 Helensburgh.

What safety release do cold store doors in Helensburgh 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.

Why is our cold room door in Helensburgh 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.
