What to specify

Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
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 Shropshire?

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

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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Do you repair high-speed doors across the West Midlands?

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

Do high-speed doors in Shropshire 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Shropshire 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.
