The short version
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Margate site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Powered door rules that apply in Margate
Margate is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Margate 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.

Frequently asked questions
Why is our cold room door in Margate 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 supply cold store doors for food businesses in Kent?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Kent, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
What safety release do cold store doors in Margate 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.
