In short
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Wishaw (ML2)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

What to specify
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
What this work can involve
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Wishaw 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Wishaw: your questions
Which is better for our Wishaw 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 Wishaw 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Wishaw?
Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Wishaw we confirm the fixed price in writing.
