What to specify
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in St Andrews?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around St Andrews 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.
