What we fit in Alfreton

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Alfreton?

In England, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
