Hangar and large-span doors in Market Harborough

What we fit in Market Harborough

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Market Harborough?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Market Harborough 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.
