What we fit in Dunstable

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.
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.
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.

What this work can involve

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Powered door rules that apply in Dunstable

Dunstable is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Dunstable 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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Dunstable: your questions

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Dunstable?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Dunstable 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.

Which is better for our Dunstable 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.
