Options that matter on site

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.

Jobs we can carry out

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.

Powered door rules that apply in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire 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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
