What to specify

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hammersmith 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
