What we fit in Ballymena
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Questions from businesses in Ballymena
Which is better for our Ballymena site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?
Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Ballymena?
It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Ballymena?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
