How high-speed doors work, and what to ask for
Vision strips in the curtain let drivers and pedestrians see what is on the other side. Regular servicing keeps the sensors and safety devices working correctly on such a busy door. High-speed doors are often fitted inside an insulated roller shutter, which provides security out of hours.
Insulated and cold-store versions are available for temperature-controlled areas. The fabric curtain can be pushed out of its guides by an impact and re-inserted automatically on many models, reducing damage.
Features to choose from
- Light curtain safety protection
- High daily cycle rating
- Internal, external and cold-store versions
- Radar, loop, pull-cord and push-button activation
- Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain
- Self-repairing curtain on many models

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.
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.

High-speed doors: common questions
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.
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.
Do high-speed doors save energy?
They reduce the time an opening stands open, which cuts heat loss and draughts on busy doors.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
