What to specify
- Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
- Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in County Durham 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in County Durham 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.
