Town: Worthing
Postcode district: BN11
Area: West Sussex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

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

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

For busy sites in West Sussex 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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Worthing?

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.

Can a large door at our Worthing 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.
