Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Kelso
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kelso?
In Scotland, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Kelso can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Kelso?
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.
Which is better for our Kelso 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Kelso?
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.
