Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in West Sussex 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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
