What we fit in Dumfries
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
What this work can involve
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dumfries?
In Scotland, 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
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.
