The short version
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Oxford site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

What to specify
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- 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.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Oxford are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
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.

Questions from businesses in Oxford
What safety release do cold store doors in Oxford 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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Oxford 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Oxford?
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.
