What we fit in Consett
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- 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.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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 Consett 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Consett vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
