Options that matter on site
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- 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 Consett 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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Consett?
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.
