What we fit in Kettering

Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kettering?

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

Most installations in Kettering can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

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.

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

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.
