What we fit in Folkestone
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- 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.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Folkestone?
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
For busy sites in Kent the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

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.
