Quick answer
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Barking site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

Options that matter on site
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Barking?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Cold store and freezer doors in Barking: your questions
Can our cold store door in Barking 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 Barking 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 Barking 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.
