What to specify

Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Powered door rules that apply in Oadby

Oadby is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

High-speed doors in Oadby: your questions

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

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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Oadby 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.

Do high-speed doors in Oadby 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.
