Options for high-speed doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield

Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
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.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
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 Sutton-in-Ashfield?

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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Nottinghamshire 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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Do high-speed doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield 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 Nottinghamshire?

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

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

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.
