Options for high-speed doors in Canterbury
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canterbury?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
