Options for high-speed doors in Eltham
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eltham?
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do high-speed doors in Eltham 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 Eltham 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.
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Eltham?
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.
