Options for high-speed doors in Hythe

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hythe?

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

For busy sites in Hampshire 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair high-speed doors across Hampshire?

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

Do high-speed doors in Hythe 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.

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Hythe?

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.
