Sliding and folding industrial doors in Lockerbie

The short version

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Lockerbie building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Town: Lockerbie
Postcode district: DG11
Area: Dumfries and Galloway
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
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.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Lockerbie 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Lockerbie?

Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Lockerbie?

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.

Which is better for our Lockerbie 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.
