What to specify
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Yate?
In England, 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.
