Cold store and freezer doors in Bishopbriggs

The short version

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

Area: Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Bishopbriggs

Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
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.
Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.

What this work can involve

Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.

Powered door rules that apply in Bishopbriggs

Bishopbriggs is in Scotland, 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

Why is our cold room door in Bishopbriggs 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.

Can our cold store door in Bishopbriggs be made electric?

Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
