In short
Planning a new hangar or large shed near Angus and Dundee? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.
- Area
- Angus and Dundee
- Nation
- Scotland
- Main town
- Dundee
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
What this work can involve
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Powered door rules that apply in Angus and Dundee
Angus and Dundee is in Scotland, 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
For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Do you service large doors across Scotland?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Scotland, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Angus and Dundee?
Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Angus and Dundee?
It depends on headroom, side space, structure and how often the door moves. Sliding doors need side space, vertical-lift fabric doors need headroom, and large sectional doors suit big but not extreme openings. We recommend after survey.
