Options for cold store and freezer doors in Canterbury
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- 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.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
What this work can involve
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- 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 Canterbury?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Why is our cold room door in Canterbury 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Canterbury?
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.
