The short version

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

Options for high-speed doors in the Highlands and Islands

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.

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.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in the Highlands and Islands 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in the Highlands and Islands

Which type of high-speed door suits our the Highlands and Islands 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 the Highlands and Islands?

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 the Highlands and Islands 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.
