Hangar and large-span doors in Dunoon

The short version

Large openings at sites in Dunoon (PA23) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Town: Dunoon
Postcode district: PA23
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
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.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

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.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Dunoon 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Dunoon can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
