Options for sectional overhead doors in Kirkwall

Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.
Finishes. Choose a colour to match your building and a stucco or ribbed finish that hides minor knocks.
Track layouts. We pick the track after measuring headroom and obstructions, so the door clears lights, sprinklers and crane rails.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.
Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Kirkwall

Kirkwall is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in the Highlands and Islands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
