Options that matter on site

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
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. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

Examples of work we can quote for

Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.

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

In Scotland, 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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Dalkeith vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
