What to specify
- 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.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Swadlincote?
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
For busy sites in Derbyshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Cold store and freezer doors in Swadlincote: your questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Swadlincote 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 our cold store door in Swadlincote be made electric?
Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.
Why is our cold room door in Swadlincote 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.
