Options for hangar and large-span doors in Derby
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Jobs we can carry out
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Derby?
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.
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.
