High Speed Doors Kent

We cover mainly Kent, London, Sussex and Surrey.  

You can visit our premises (by appointment) to view our very own high-speed doors.

High-Speed doors are designed for excessive use. They dramatically reduce draughts and temperature loss and at the same time optimise traffic flow.  

Traditional Canvas Speed Door

If you would like a traditional canvas High-Speed Door, we can provide you with a quotation. However, we find the demand for these types of fast action doors has reduced.  Since they are costly to install and repair and parts have to be imported.   As a result, it often means a slow turnaround.

Versus The Eco-Strip Door

However, we would highly recommend our very own Fast Action Doors, the Eco- Strip High Speed Door

Safety

As machines, Speed Doors come under the Machinery Directive. As a result, the law states you must service speed doors at least once a year.  Click here for more information on your legal obligations, or contact us for further advice instead.

SAFETY - Fast Action Doors - Important to Note!  

♦ Avoid Unwanted Damage - Ensure your Eco-Strip Doors or other Fast Action Doors are  ALWAYS raised and left up during gale conditions.  

♦ DO NOT attempt to pass underneath a speed door once it has started lowering.  Although Automatic Speed Doors have safety features, they can still take up to 0.68 of a second to respond to an obstruction.   We have had some customers attempt to drive or walk through whilst it is closing. 

The photo beams stop the door from operating when a person is standing within the beam area. The safety edge will send the door back up only once it has touched an object or person.

Unless you have a speed door set to pick up walking personnel, they MUST use other entrance doors into the building.  In this instance, we also strongly advise our customers to erect signage to that effect.

A motion sensor is a device used for picking up walking personnel.  Please get in touch with us for further information.

♦ NEVER reverse through the opening.  Ensure you have a total, clear vision of the entire door before attempting to pass through.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! 

If you are travelling through the opening while the door is closing, you can cause damage to the door and your vehicle or injury to yourself.

If you think this type of incident could occur at your premises; please ask about traffic lights or other forms of alarms that we can provide to alert personnel when it is safe to pass through.
