Options for cold store and freezer doors in Walkden

Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.

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

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Greater Manchester?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Greater Manchester, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Walkden 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.

Why is our cold room door in Walkden 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.
