Options that matter on site
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- 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 Kendal?
In England, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

High-speed doors in Kendal: your questions
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Kendal?
A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
Do you repair high-speed doors across Cumbria?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Cumbria, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
Do high-speed doors in Kendal need more servicing than standard doors?
Usually, yes, because they cycle so often. We base the service interval on the cycle counter and the manufacturer's guidance rather than a fixed annual visit, and can set up a planned maintenance schedule.
