What to specify
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Edinburgh?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
