Common questions
About our industrial door services
Which areas do you cover?
- Industrial Doors SW is based in Torquay, Devon, and installs, repairs and maintains industrial doors for businesses across the South West of England, including Devon and Cornwall. If you are unsure whether we cover your site, call us and ask.
What types of industrial door do you install?
- We install roller shutter doors, sectional overhead doors, high-speed doors, steel hinged doors, aluminium entrances and PVC strip curtains, and we convert manual doors to electric operation.
How much does an industrial door cost?
- It depends on the size of the opening, the type of door, whether it is insulated, and whether it is operated by hand or by an electric motor. We visit the site, measure the opening and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
Do you repair doors as well as install them?
- Yes. We repair and maintain roller shutters, sectional doors, high-speed doors and steel doors, from replacing damaged laths, panels and guide rails to fixing motors, springs, closers and locks.
How often should an industrial door be serviced?
- Industrial doors are commonly serviced every six to twelve months, and powered doors that are used heavily are often serviced every six months. Regular servicing catches worn springs, cables and safety devices before they fail, and helps you meet your legal duty to keep workplace equipment maintained.
Is there a legal requirement to maintain industrial doors?
- Yes. In the UK, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require doors and gates in a workplace to be maintained in efficient working order, and powered doors must have safety features that stop them trapping anyone. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) also require work equipment to be maintained in a safe condition. Regular servicing by a competent engineer, with records kept, is the usual way to show this.
Can my existing manual door be made electric?
- In most cases, yes. Manual roller shutters and sectional doors in reasonable condition can be fitted with a motor, controls and the safety devices a powered door needs. We inspect the door first to check it is suitable.
