Hangar and large-span doors in Helensburgh

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in Helensburgh have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Town: Helensburgh
Postcode district: G84
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What we fit in Helensburgh

Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
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.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Helensburgh 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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
