High-speed doors in Barnsley

In short

Is a busy door at your Barnsley 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 we fit in Barnsley

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
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.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.

Typical scopes of work

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Barnsley are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Access, phasing and timing

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 Barnsley

Do high-speed doors in Barnsley 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 Yorkshire?

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

Which type of high-speed door suits our Barnsley 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.
