At a glance
Is a busy door at your Barking premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

What we fit in Barking
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- 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.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Barking?
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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Greater London 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.

Questions from businesses in Barking
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Barking?
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 high-speed doors in Barking 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.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Barking 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.
