In short
Temperature-controlled rooms in Holloway (N7) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Holloway?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Holloway 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.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Do you repair cold store doors in Holloway?
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 Holloway 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 Holloway 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.
