Options for cold store and freezer doors in Didcot
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Didcot?
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 Didcot 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.

Questions from businesses in Didcot
What safety release do cold store doors in Didcot 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.
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Oxfordshire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Oxfordshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Why is our cold room door in Didcot 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.
