Options that matter on site
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Newtownabbey?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Newtownabbey vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Newtownabbey?
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.
Can a large door at our Newtownabbey 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.
Do you service large doors across County Antrim?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across County Antrim, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
