Options for high-speed doors in Dundee

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

What this work can involve

Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Dundee 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Which type of high-speed door suits our Dundee site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Dundee premises have?

Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.

How much does a high-speed door cost in Dundee?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Dundee opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
