The short version
Is a busy door at your Barry premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

What to specify
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
What this work can involve
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Powered door rules that apply in Barry
Barry is in Wales, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

High-speed doors in Barry: your questions
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Barry 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 Barry 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 South Glamorgan?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across South Glamorgan, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
