Options for high-speed doors in Lancashire

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
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.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
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 Lancashire?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Lancashire 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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Lancashire premises have?

Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Lancashire?

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.

How much does a high-speed door cost in Lancashire?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Lancashire opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
