What we fit in Hereford

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.

What this work can involve

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Powered door rules that apply in Hereford

Hereford 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.

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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Which type of high-speed door suits our Hereford site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.

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

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

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.
