What to specify
- 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.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
What this work can involve
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ayrshire?
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.

Questions from businesses in Ayrshire
Will a sliding door fit our building in Ayrshire?
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.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Scotland?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Scotland, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
Can our existing sliding doors in Ayrshire be motorised?
Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.
