Options for high-speed doors in Guildford

Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.

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.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Guildford?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about high-speed doors

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Guildford 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 you repair high-speed doors across Surrey?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Surrey, 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 Guildford site?
