Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

Do you repair cold store doors in Carlisle?

Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Cumbria?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Cumbria, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Why is our cold room door in Carlisle 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.
