Options for high-speed doors in Horsham

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.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
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.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

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

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

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