Options that matter on site
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- 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 Sutton 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
