Sliding and folding industrial doors in Letchworth Garden City

The short version

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Letchworth Garden City (SG6)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Town: Letchworth Garden City
Postcode district: SG6
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Letchworth Garden City 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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
