Options that matter on site

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.

Jobs we can carry out

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.

Powered door rules that apply in Smethwick

Smethwick is in England, 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.
