Options for cold store and freezer doors in Hastings

Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
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.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hastings 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Hastings 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.

Questions from businesses in Hastings

Can our cold store door in Hastings 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.

How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Hastings?

Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Hastings.

Why is our cold room door in Hastings 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.
