What to specify
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kilmarnock?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Ayrshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Kilmarnock

Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Kilmarnock 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 Kilmarnock?
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 Kilmarnock opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
