In short
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Mitcham 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
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Typical scopes of work
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- 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 Mitcham?
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
Sites in and around Mitcham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Can you replace a freezer door at our Mitcham 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.
Can our cold store door in Mitcham 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.
Why is our cold room door in Mitcham 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.
