Options for cold store and freezer doors in Cheltenham
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
What this work can involve
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Powered door rules that apply in Cheltenham
Cheltenham 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Cold store and freezer doors in Cheltenham: your questions
Can you replace a freezer door at our Cheltenham 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.
Why is our cold room door in Cheltenham 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.
What safety release do cold store doors in Cheltenham 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.
