What we fit in Margate
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
What this work can involve
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Margate?
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 Margate 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.
