What we fit in Scunthorpe
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- 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 Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe 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.
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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Scunthorpe: your questions
Do you repair cold store doors in Scunthorpe?
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.
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Lincolnshire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Lincolnshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Why is our cold room door in Scunthorpe 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.
