Options that matter on site
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Powered door rules that apply in West Sussex
West Sussex 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.
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.
