Not enough headroom for a shutter at your the Scottish Borders building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

What to specify
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- 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.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in the Scottish Borders 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
