Cold store and freezer doors in Kenilworth

At a glance

Temperature-controlled rooms in Kenilworth (CV8) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

Town: Kenilworth
Postcode district: CV8
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.

What this work can involve

Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kenilworth?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Kenilworth 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

Why is our cold room door in Kenilworth 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.

How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Kenilworth?

Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Kenilworth.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Kenilworth 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.
