What to specify
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in London?
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
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.

Questions from businesses in London
Can you replace a freezer door at our London 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 London 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 Greater London?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Greater London, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
