What to specify
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hereford?
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
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
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Hereford?
Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Hereford.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Hereford 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 Hereford 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.
