Options for high-speed doors in Blackburn

Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
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.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Lancashire 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.

High-speed doors in Blackburn: your questions

Do high-speed doors in Blackburn 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 Blackburn 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.

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

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 Blackburn opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
