Options that matter on site

Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.

Typical scopes of work

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
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 Loughborough?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Loughborough

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

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.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Loughborough 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.

Do high-speed doors in Loughborough 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.
