What we fit in Morecambe
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- 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 Morecambe?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Lancashire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Morecambe 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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Morecambe 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.
Why is our cold room door in Morecambe 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.
