Options that matter on site
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Loughborough 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.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Loughborough?
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 Loughborough 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.
