What to specify
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Chatham 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
Most installations in Chatham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
