Cold store and freezer doors in Washington

In short

We can install sliding, hinged and high-speed cold store doors in Washington and across Tyne and Wear, coordinating with your refrigeration engineer so the room is back at its working temperature quickly after the change.

Town: Washington
Postcode district: NE38
Area: Tyne and Wear
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Washington 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Washington vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Cold store and freezer doors in Washington: your questions

Can our cold store door in Washington 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 Washington 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.

Why is our cold room door in Washington 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.
