Options for high-speed doors in Kirkintilloch

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.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
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.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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 Kirkintilloch?

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Questions from businesses in Kirkintilloch

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

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 Kirkintilloch 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.

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