Options that matter on site

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
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 England

Industrial doors in Chester-le-Street 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Chester-le-Street site?
