Options for high-speed doors in Heywood

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Powered door rules that apply in Heywood

Heywood 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Heywood

Do you repair high-speed doors across Greater Manchester?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Greater Manchester, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Heywood 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.

Do high-speed doors in Heywood 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.
