The short version
From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Brighton, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Options that matter on site
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- 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.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Brighton?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Hangar and large-span doors in Brighton: your questions
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Brighton?
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.
Can a large door at our Brighton 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.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Brighton?
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.
