What we fit in Lanarkshire

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.
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.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
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 Scotland

Industrial doors in Lanarkshire 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

Sites in and around Lanarkshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Lanarkshire

Which is better for our Lanarkshire site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?

Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.

Can our existing sliding doors in Lanarkshire be motorised?

Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Scotland?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Scotland, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
