What we fit in Rutherglen

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
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.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Rutherglen 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.

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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Rutherglen: your questions

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

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Rutherglen?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Rutherglen?

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.
