Options for high-speed doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed

Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
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.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.

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.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed?

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

For busy sites in Northumberland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

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.

Do high-speed doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed 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.

Do you repair high-speed doors across Northumberland?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Northumberland, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
