Options that matter on site
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- 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.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hackney 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
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.
