Options that matter on site

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.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.

Typical scopes of work

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Powered door rules that apply in Stranraer

Stranraer is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
