Options that matter on site
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Powered door rules in Northern Ireland
County Antrim is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in County Antrim
Can a large door at our County Antrim site be operated without power?
Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.
How long would a large-span door installation take in County Antrim?
After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in County Antrim?
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.
