What we fit in Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire

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.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.

Examples of work we can quote for

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire?

In Scotland, 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire?

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.

Do high-speed doors in Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire 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 Scotland?

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