Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.

What this work can involve

Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Kirkintilloch

Kirkintilloch 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.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Cold store and freezer doors in Kirkintilloch: your questions

Can you replace a freezer door at our Kirkintilloch 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.

Why is our cold room door in Kirkintilloch 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.

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.
