How high-speed doors work, and what to ask for

They are designed for very high numbers of cycles a day, which a standard roller shutter is not. Radar, induction loops and pull cords open the door automatically as traffic approaches.

Regular servicing keeps the sensors and safety devices working correctly on such a busy door. Light curtains in the frame stop the curtain closing if anything is in the opening.

Options we can specify

  • Radar, loop, pull-cord and push-button activation
  • High daily cycle rating
  • Internal, external and cold-store versions
  • Self-repairing curtain on many models
  • Vision strips for safe traffic flow
  • Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

How it works

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Ampthill?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ampthill. We also cover nearby Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard.

Is a high-speed door secure?

Not on its own. The fabric curtain is for traffic and environmental control, so it is often paired with a roller shutter that closes out of hours.

Do high-speed doors save energy?

They reduce the time an opening stands open, which cuts heat loss and draughts on busy doors.

What happens if a forklift hits the curtain?

On many models the curtain pops out of its guides and re-feeds itself on the next cycle, which avoids the damage a steel shutter would suffer.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
