What to specify
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Swansea 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long would a large-span door installation take in Swansea?
After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
Can a large door at our Swansea site be operated without power?
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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Swansea?
Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
