Options that matter on site
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
What this work can involve
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kendal?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Kendal can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
