Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Thornton-Cleveleys?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Thornton-Cleveleys 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.
