Options that matter on site

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Jobs we can carry out

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Seaford?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Hangar and large-span doors in Seaford: your questions

Can a large door at our Seaford 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 Seaford?

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.

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

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.
