What to specify

Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Sevenoaks?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

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.

Why is our cold room door in Sevenoaks 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.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Sevenoaks 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.
