What we fit in Shirley

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.

What this work can involve

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

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

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.
