Options that matter on site
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Powered door rules that apply in Pontefract
Pontefract 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.
How the work is organised
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Cold store and freezer doors in Pontefract: your questions
Do you repair cold store doors in Pontefract?
Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.
Can our cold store door in Pontefract 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.
Why is our cold room door in Pontefract 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.
