What to specify
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
What this work can involve
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Sidcup?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Do you repair cold store doors in Sidcup?
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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Sidcup 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 Sidcup 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.
