Substation Doors

Specialist rebound doors for the sports hall designed to comply with Sport England guidelines

Built on over 30 years of "fit and forget" manufacturing expertise, the TS Designs security doorsets have been specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of electrical substations and utility infrastructure. Designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance, the doorsets help asset owners reduce whole-life costs while ensuring reliable protection of critical electrical equipment.

When developing our door range, our objective was clear, to provide a genuinely durable solution capable of withstanding the harsh environmental conditions commonly found at substations, while eliminating the corrosion issues often associated with traditional substation doors.

The result is a robust security doorset that delivers reliable protection, reduced maintenance requirements and a long operational lifespan, making it the ideal choice for substations, switch rooms, transformer compounds and other critical infrastructure assets.

Designed specifically for utility environments, our doors offer:

• Lower whole-life costs with no ongoing maintenance
• Fewer reactive call-outs and assured long-term performance
• Faster, more straightforward on-site installation
• Enhanced asset security and network resilience
• A 20-year warranty to support long-term client commitments
