Options that matter on site
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Powered door rules that apply in Islington
Islington is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Planning the work around your site
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.
