The short version
High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Uxbridge. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

What to specify
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
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.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Uxbridge?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about high-speed doors
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Uxbridge?
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.
Do high-speed doors in Uxbridge 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.
Which type of high-speed door suits our Uxbridge 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.
