Options for high-speed doors in Dalkeith

Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
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.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dalkeith?

In Scotland, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

High-speed doors in Dalkeith: your questions

Do high-speed doors in Dalkeith 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.

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Dalkeith?

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 Edinburgh and the Lothians?

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