In short
Temperature-controlled rooms in Motherwell (ML1) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

- Area
- Lanarkshire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
What this work can involve
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Motherwell are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
How the work is organised
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
Can you replace a freezer door at our Motherwell 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.
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Lanarkshire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Lanarkshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Can our cold store door in Motherwell be made electric?
Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.
