What we fit in Kirkby-in-Ashfield

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Kirkby-in-Ashfield

Kirkby-in-Ashfield is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law.

Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Kirkby-in-Ashfield: your questions

Which is better for our Kirkby-in-Ashfield site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?

Can our existing sliding doors in Kirkby-in-Ashfield 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.
