Options that matter on site

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire is in England, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
