What we fit in Poole
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- 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.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Powered door rules that apply in Poole
Poole 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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Poole 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.
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Dorset?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Dorset, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Can our cold store door in Poole 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.
