High-speed doors in Barnet

In short

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

Town: Barnet
Postcode district: EN5
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
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.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Barnet 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

High-speed doors in Barnet: your questions

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Barnet?

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.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Barnet 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Barnet site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.
