Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Kelso 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Do you service large doors across the Scottish Borders?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across the Scottish Borders, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Kelso?
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.

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.
