What to specify
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Northampton?
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
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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Northamptonshire, 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Northampton?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
