What to specify
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- 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 Widnes?
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
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.
