What to specify
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
What this work can involve
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Scarborough?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Scarborough vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Do you repair cold store doors in Scarborough?
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.
Why is our cold room door in Scarborough 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.
What safety release do cold store doors in Scarborough 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.
