Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

What this work can involve

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Altrincham 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
