The short version
Large openings at sites in Hatfield (AL10) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Options for hangar and large-span doors in Hatfield
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Jobs we can carry out
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Powered door rules that apply in Hatfield
Hatfield 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
For busy sites in Hertfordshire 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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Hatfield?
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 Hatfield?
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 service large doors across Hertfordshire?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Hertfordshire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
