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. Light curtains in the frame stop the curtain closing if anything is in the opening. The fabric curtain can be pushed out of its guides by an impact and re-inserted automatically on many models, reducing damage.
Insulated and cold-store versions are available for temperature-controlled areas. High-speed doors open and close much faster than roller shutters, so the opening spends less time open.
Features to choose from
- Pairs with a roller shutter for security
- Light curtain safety protection
- Fast-acting PVC fabric curtain
- Vision strips for safe traffic flow
- Internal, external and cold-store versions

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
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
