- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Herefordshire?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
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.
