Options for cold store and freezer doors in Uxbridge

Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Uxbridge?

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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

Can our cold store door in Uxbridge 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.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Uxbridge 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 Uxbridge 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.
