Options that matter on site
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ampthill 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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Bedfordshire 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.

High-speed doors in Ampthill: your questions
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Ampthill?
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 Ampthill 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.
Which type of high-speed door suits our Ampthill 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.
