Options that matter on site

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
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. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
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 Dewsbury?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Dewsbury can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Dewsbury?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.

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

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 Dewsbury 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.
