Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.

Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.

Powered door rules that apply in Billingham

Billingham 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Billingham: your questions

Why is our cold room door in Billingham 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.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in County Durham?

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

What safety release do cold store doors in Billingham 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.
