How high-speed doors work, and what to ask for
Food, pharmaceutical and cold-store sites use them to keep zones separate. 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. The fabric curtain can be pushed out of its guides by an impact and re-inserted automatically on many models, reducing damage.
Specification options
- Pairs with a roller shutter for security
- Vision strips for safe traffic flow
- Radar, loop, pull-cord and push-button activation
- High daily cycle rating
- Light curtain safety protection
- Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Durham?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair high-speed doors in Durham and the DH1 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.
How fast do they open?
High-speed doors open in a few seconds, much faster than a roller shutter. The exact speed depends on the model and size.
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.
Do high-speed doors save energy?
They reduce the time an opening stands open, which cuts heat loss and draughts on busy doors.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
