Sliding and folding industrial doors in Stonehaven

Quick answer

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Stonehaven building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Town: Stonehaven
Postcode district: AB39
Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stonehaven?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Stonehaven 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.
