Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Arbroath
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Arbroath?
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
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.
