What to specify
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- 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.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Watford are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Watford vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
