Options for hangar and large-span doors in Borehamwood

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Borehamwood vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Borehamwood

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

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 a large door at our Borehamwood site be operated without power?

Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Borehamwood?

It depends on headroom, side space, structure and how often the door moves. Sliding doors need side space, vertical-lift fabric doors need headroom, and large sectional doors suit big but not extreme openings. We recommend after survey.
