What we fit in Houghton-le-Spring
- 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.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- 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 Houghton-le-Spring
Houghton-le-Spring is in England, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
