Options that matter on site
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- 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
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Northampton?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Northampton vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

High-speed doors in Northampton: your questions
How much does a high-speed door cost in Northampton?
Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Northampton opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
Do high-speed doors in Northampton 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.
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Northampton?
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.
