Options for cold store and freezer doors in Tunbridge Wells

Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Tunbridge Wells?

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.

How the work is organised

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.
