What we fit in Rushden
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
What this work can involve
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Rushden?
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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
