Hangar and large-span doors in Barrow-in-Furness

In short

If your sliding hangar doors in Barrow-in-Furness 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

Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

What this work can involve

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

Powered door rules that apply in Barrow-in-Furness

Barrow-in-Furness 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Barrow-in-Furness 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.

Can a large door at our Barrow-in-Furness 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 Barrow-in-Furness?

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.
