In short
If your sliding hangar doors in Luton 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.

Options that matter on site
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Typical scopes of work
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- 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 England
Industrial doors in Luton 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Luton 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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
How long would a large-span door installation take in Luton?
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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Luton?
Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
Can a large door at our Luton 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.
