Hangar and large-span doors in Oban

Quick answer

From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Oban, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Town: Oban
Postcode district: PA34
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Oban?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Oban: your questions

Can a large door at our Oban 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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Oban?

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.

How much does a hangar door cost in Oban?

Hangar and large-span doors are priced on survey because each is designed for its opening and structure. Typical projects start from around £39,995 ex VAT. After surveying your site in Oban, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
