What we fit in Newton Aycliffe

Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.

What this work can involve

Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.

Powered door rules that apply in Newton Aycliffe

Newton Aycliffe 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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

Can our cold store door in Newton Aycliffe 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.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Newton Aycliffe 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.

What safety release do cold store doors in Newton Aycliffe 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.
