Quick answer
High-speed doors in Dover (CT16), specified around your cycle count, wind exposure and pedestrian routes, then fitted with radar, loops or interlocks and a full-height light curtain before we commission them.

What to specify
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Typical scopes of work
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Dover 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
For busy sites in Kent 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.

Your questions about high-speed doors
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Dover?
A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
Do high-speed doors in Dover 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 Dover 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.
