The short version
We can install high-speed doors in Harlow and throughout Essex, from self-repairing fabric doors on internal forklift routes to insulated spiral doors that serve as the main external opening of a building.

Options that matter on site
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Harlow?
In England, 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
For busy sites in Essex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

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.

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