Options that matter on site

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. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.

Typical scopes of work

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.
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 Waterlooville?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
