What we fit in Devon

Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Devon

Devon is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Devon: your questions

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in the South West?

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

Can you replace a freezer door at our Devon 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.

Can our cold store door in Devon 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.
