Heavy door handling

Available from the Door Worker Company, the Thornton DoorWorker was developed by Peter Thornton after many years of experience as a door installer and helps overcome the risk of injury while hanging heavy doors.

With health and safety legislation now requiring two people or more to install doors over 25kg in weight, the patented DoorWorker enables one person to safely hang doors of all types and weights, resulting in considerable labour savings.

The system is fully mobile and can be used to move the door from the loading area to the point of installation.

The door is mounted on soft rollers and held by plastic clamps to ensure no damage occurs to the door surfaces.

Once ready to be manoeuvred into the frame, the door in the jig is positioned vertically and wheeled into the door opening. The unit offers full adjustment vertically, longitudinally and horizontally. Uneven or sloping floors are catered for by outrigger wheels that are adjustable in height.
