Options for hangar and large-span doors in Bournemouth

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bournemouth 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Bournemouth?

Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Bournemouth?

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 Bournemouth 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.
