Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Lancaster

Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
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.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Examples of work we can quote for

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Lancaster?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
