What we fit in Newtownards

Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Typical scopes of work

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around County Down?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across County Down, 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Newtownards?

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.
