High-speed doors in Borehamwood

The short version

For openings in Borehamwood that cycle hundreds of times a day, we fit high-speed doors with inverter drives, breakaway bottom bars and controls tuned to the traffic that uses them.

Town: Borehamwood
Postcode district: WD6
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.

Typical scopes of work

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Borehamwood are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Hertfordshire 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.
