What we fit in Wallsend

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.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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 Wallsend?

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.

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 Wallsend: your questions

Which type of high-speed door suits our Wallsend 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 Wallsend 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.

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

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.
