Options for high-speed doors in Oxford

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.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Oxford?

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

Most installations in Oxford can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Oxford 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.

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

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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Oxford site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.
