In short
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Hartlepool site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
What this work can involve
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hartlepool 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
Most installations in Hartlepool can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Cold store and freezer doors in Hartlepool: your questions
Can you replace a freezer door at our Hartlepool site without losing stock?
We plan the change with you and your refrigeration engineer. Many doors can be swapped in a day, sometimes with stock moved or the plant set back temporarily, so the room returns to temperature quickly.
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.
Can our cold store door in Hartlepool 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.
