What to specify

Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.

Typical scopes of work

Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
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.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

Do you repair cold store doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.

Why is our cold room door in Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.
