High-speed doors in Hertford

In short

We can install high-speed doors in Hertford and throughout Hertfordshire, from self-repairing fabric doors on internal forklift routes to insulated spiral doors that serve as the main external opening of a building.

Town: Hertford
Postcode district: SG13
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

Which type of high-speed door suits our Hertford 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.

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

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.

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