What we fit in Devon

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed 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 Devon 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in the South West 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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Devon: your questions

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Devon?

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.

Can a large door at our Devon 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.
