The short version
High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Edinburgh. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Jobs we can carry out
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Powered door rules that apply in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
How the work is organised
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.

Your questions about high-speed doors
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh?
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.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Edinburgh 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.
