What to specify
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ely?
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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Ely 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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Ely 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.
Why is our cold room door in Ely 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.
