Options for hangar and large-span doors in Hornchurch
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
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.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Powered door rules that apply in Hornchurch
Hornchurch is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
