WELCOME TO CELLAR ACCESS
We manufacture cellar doors and trap doors for all applications.
Why should you struggle with a cellar trap door when you can have one which opens automatically?
Having specialized in supplying cellar door sets for over 30 years along with SELF OPENING cellar doors and trap doors for 20 years we have a wealth of experience in all types of applications.
EXTERNAL CELLAR TRAP DOOR
Our external “Easy Flaps” are our draymens favourite
and transform any beer or product cellar drop into an
enjoyable and safe external cellar access point and
double as a SELF OPENING FIRE ESCAPE door. Galvanised
finish and weather resistant seals together with stainless
steel furniture remove the need for expensive regular
maintenance. Available as a standard size out of our
range or bespoke sizes to fit your application.
INTERNAL CELLAR TRAP DOOR
Our internal cellar trap doors come in a variety of application forms.
As pairs they can service a beer cellar or restaurant goods intake whilst as a
single or
‘L’ shaped pair, they can provide effortless and stylish complements for your wine cellar or feature storage area. Each of these is built specifically to your dimensions and particular applications.
We also manufacture a
60 MINUTE FIRE RESISTANT single which is tested and approved to B.S 476 part 22 1987 ( British Standard).
Internal
tray type cellar trap doors are recessed to take a variety of floor finishes such as tiles, carpet, timber and altro and minimize the visual impact of the door and opening.
Clear view™ GLASS DOOR set over showpiece cellars are
becoming very popular. We have responded to this
demand using a more scratch resistant medium than glass,
which is just as transparent and clear but lighter in
weight than glass. The acrylic sheet panels that we use
to do this are thicker and stronger to support more foot
traffic too.
Our self opening automatic cellar trap doors have
traditionally
been powered by gas struts. Today the
introduction of electric
actuators, either hard wired or
with a wireless remote control handset are the must have
accessory with any luxury cellar trap door and particularly
with a see through
GLASS DOOR wine cellar.
SAFETY
Prevention of personal injuries and HEALTH AND SAFETY has always been a priority with our cellar door and trap door designs.
Having removed the cause of back injury with automatic opening cellar doors we have now introduced a personnel opening access door to prevent falls with out guards. Many premises, particularly public houses, shops and restaurants have personnel access tarp doors in which are potentially dangerous places. When the trap door is open, there is a danger that other individuals could fall into the opening. Claims for damages related to such falls have incurred frighteningly large settlements that have run in to the millions.
Rather than the impractical solution of having to erect
barriers around the opening and then store them, we offer
a
SAFETY GRILLE DOOR, which AUTOMATICALLY SAFEGUARDS
the opening whilst the trap door is open.
A coordinated floor finish self opening top door with a
secondary, gently closing hinged grille below automatically
provides TOTAL SAFETY for all whilst the trap door is left
open. Each of these is custom made to your requirements
and needs.
STEEL STEPS &
LADDERS
Our
steel steps &
ladders for personnel access to any
cellar or basement of any kind are available with
or without handrails.
Skids &
chutes for product loading into commercial
based cellar or basements are available. Both Fixed
and fold away types can be custom made to suit your
application.
