Area: Forth Valley
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

What this work can involve

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Alloa

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

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.

How long would a large-span door installation take in Alloa?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.

Can a large door at our Alloa 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.
