What to specify

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.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.

Typical scopes of work

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hackney?

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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Hackney

Which type of high-speed door suits our Hackney 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.

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Hackney?

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.
