What to specify
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Dumfries 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
