What we fit in Stanley

Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Powered door rules that apply in Stanley

Stanley is in England, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in County Durham 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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

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

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.

How long would a large-span door installation take in Stanley?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Stanley?

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.
