What to specify
- Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
- Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
- Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
- Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
- Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
- Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.
- Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Clydebank?
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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors
Can you replace our old roller shutter in Clydebank with an insulated one?
Yes. We recommend a complete new door rather than a new curtain on old parts, and include strip-out and disposal in the quote so the old shutter goes when the new one is fitted.
Does a powered insulated roller door in Clydebank need safety devices?
If the door closes automatically or can trap someone, yes. The risk assessment decides what is needed, typically a safety edge, photocells and closing forces tested to BS EN 12453, plus anti-fall protection on heavier curtains.
Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Clydebank unit?
The coil on an insulated curtain is larger than on a single-skin shutter, so we measure the space above the lintel on survey. Where headroom is very tight, the coil can sometimes be fitted outside the opening or a lower-profile option chosen.
