What to specify
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- 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.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Powered door rules that apply in Gainsborough
Gainsborough 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Gainsborough
Why is our cold room door in Gainsborough 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Gainsborough?
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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Gainsborough 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.
