Options for hangar and large-span doors in Colwyn Bay

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.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Colwyn Bay?

In Wales, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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 Colwyn Bay

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Colwyn Bay?

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.

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

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.

Can a large door at our Colwyn Bay 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.
