Options that matter on site
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Powered door rules that apply in Leicester
Leicester is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Leicester?

Do you repair cold store doors in Leicester?
Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.

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.
