Hangar and large-span doors in Kilmarnock

In short

If your sliding hangar doors in Kilmarnock 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.

What we fit in Kilmarnock

Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

What this work can involve

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Kilmarnock

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Kilmarnock?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.

How long would a large-span door installation take in Kilmarnock?

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 Kilmarnock?

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.
