Options that matter on site

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.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Derbyshire 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the East Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

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.

Can a large door at our Derbyshire 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.
