Options for high-speed doors in Dumfries and Galloway

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
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.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Dumfries and Galloway 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.

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.

Questions from businesses in Dumfries and Galloway

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Dumfries and Galloway?

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.

Do high-speed doors in Dumfries and Galloway 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.

Do you repair high-speed doors across Scotland?

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