Options for cold store and freezer doors in Leytonstone

Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
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.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.

What this work can involve

Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
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 Leytonstone?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Leytonstone 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.
