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

What we fit in Fife
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Powered door rules that apply in Fife
Fife is in Scotland, 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.
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.
