What we fit in Middlesbrough

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
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.

What this work can involve

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

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Middlesbrough 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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Middlesbrough: your questions

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Middlesbrough?

Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

Can our existing sliding doors in Middlesbrough 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.

Which is better for our Middlesbrough 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.
