Options that matter on site

Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

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

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

Can our cold store door in Lancaster 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.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Lancashire?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Lancashire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Lancaster 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.
