What we fit in Motherwell
- Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
- Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
- Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
- Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
- Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
- Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
- Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Motherwell are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Motherwell 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.
