Options for hangar and large-span doors in Stalybridge

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stalybridge?

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.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Stalybridge?

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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Stalybridge?

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.

How long would a large-span door installation take in Stalybridge?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
