Area: Cumbria
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Barrow-in-Furness

Barrow-in-Furness 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
