What to specify
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Powered door rules that apply in Dukinfield
Dukinfield 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Dukinfield?
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.
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Dukinfield?
Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
