What to specify
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bicester?
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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about high-speed doors
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Bicester?
A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Bicester premises have?
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.
Do high-speed doors in Bicester 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.
