Options for high-speed doors in Motherwell

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Motherwell?

In Scotland, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Motherwell 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.

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.
