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.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Thatcham?
In England, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
