Options for high-speed doors in Hexham
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Powered door rules that apply in Hexham
Hexham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
