What we fit in Truro
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Powered door rules that apply in Truro
Truro is in England, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Can a large door at our Truro 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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Truro?
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 you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Truro?
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.
