Options that matter on site
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
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.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Risca?
In Wales, 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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Risca: your questions
Do you repair cold store doors in Risca?
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 Risca 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 Risca 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.
