Options for cold store and freezer doors in Chelmsford

Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.

Typical scopes of work

Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
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 Chelmsford

Chelmsford 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Chelmsford

Can our cold store door in Chelmsford 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.

What safety release do cold store doors in Chelmsford 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.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Essex?
