What we fit in Glasgow
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- 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.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
What this work can involve
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Glasgow are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Do you service large doors across Scotland?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Scotland, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Glasgow?
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.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Glasgow?
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.
