What we fit in Frome
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.

- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Powered door rules that apply in Frome
Frome is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Somerset the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
