What we fit in Glasgow

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

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

In Scotland, 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

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.
