Options that matter on site

Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
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 Daventry?

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.

How the work is organised

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.
