What we fit in Salisbury

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.

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

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

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.
