What we fit in Forres

Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Forres 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Forres can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
