What to specify

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.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.

What this work can involve

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
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 Manchester?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Do high-speed doors in Manchester 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.

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