What we fit in Rawtenstall

Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

What this work can involve

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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 Rawtenstall?

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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Rawtenstall 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 Rawtenstall 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.
