High-speed doors in Hoddesdon

In short

Is a busy door at your Hoddesdon premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

What to specify

Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.

Examples of work we can quote for

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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 Hoddesdon

Hoddesdon 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Hoddesdon vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

Do high-speed doors in Hoddesdon 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Hoddesdon 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.
