In short
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Oban (PA34)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.
- Town
- Oban
- Postcode district
- PA34
- Area
- Argyll and Bute
- Survey
- By arrangement
What to specify
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Oban are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
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.
