What we fit in Rutland
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Rutland 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Rutland can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace a freezer door at our Rutland 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.
Can our cold store door in Rutland 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.
What safety release do cold store doors in Rutland 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.
