In short
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Dunfermline (KY12)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Jobs we can carry out
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Powered door rules that apply in Dunfermline
Dunfermline 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Dunfermline vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Dunfermline: your questions
Which is better for our Dunfermline 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Dunfermline?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Dunfermline?
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.
