Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Newton Mearns

Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

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.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Newton Mearns are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

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.
