Options for high-speed doors in Exeter

Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Exeter 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Devon 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 Exeter

Do you repair high-speed doors across Devon?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Devon, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Exeter 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 Exeter 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.
