Options that matter on site
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Downpatrick?
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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Downpatrick?
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 high-speed doors in Downpatrick 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.
