What to specify
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
What this work can involve
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Exeter are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Devon 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.
