Quick answer
Large openings at sites in Barnsley (S70) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

What to specify
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Barnsley?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
