Options that matter on site
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
What this work can involve
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Strood?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Strood can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Strood?
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 Strood 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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Strood?
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.
