Options that matter on site

Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.

What this work can involve

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.
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 Thornaby-on-Tees?

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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
