Options that matter on site

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Mansfield?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
