What to specify

Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.

Powered door rules that apply in Thatcham

Thatcham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

Questions from businesses in Thatcham

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Thatcham?

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 Thatcham 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.
