Installing Fast Action Doors: What to Expect From Start to Finish

If you’re considering installing fast-action doors for your facility, you’re already thinking ahead—prioritising efficiency, security, and energy savings. These doors move at high speeds to maintain internal temperatures and conditions, minimising opportunities for heat or fume ingress. They are ideal for manufacturing sites, food processing units, and pharmaceutical laboratories. Understanding the full installation process can help you plan more effectively and minimise downtime.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect when working with I&S Industrial Doors Ltd.

Initial Consultation and Site Survey

Every successful door installation begins with understanding your unique operational needs. During the initial consultation, our experts will visit your site to assess:

  • Existing access points
  • Aperture dimensions
  • Operational workflow
  • Environmental factors (e.g., temperature control, hygiene requirements)
  • Safety considerations and regulations

The site survey is to make sure that we recommend the most suitable high-speed industrial doors for your business. We measure the space for the door and fabricate a bespoke door to fit precisely. Doors may include seals, glazing and other features if required.

Step 2: Custom Door Design and Specification

Fast-action doors aren’t one-size-fits-all. Based on the survey findings, we design a custom solution that meets your specifications. We consider factors such as:

  • Opening speed requirements
  • Glazing options
  • Opening styles (horizontal, rolling, folding panels)
  • Size and frequency of traffic (vehicles and pedestrians)
  • Material choice for durability and insulation
  • Sensor requirements
  • Safety systems and integration with existing controls

We can also recommend warehouse roller shutter doors or hybrid solutions for areas with varying needs.

Step 3: Quotation and Scheduling

Once the design and specification are finalised, you’ll receive a transparent, itemised quotation. We can schedule the installation at a time that minimises disruption to your operations.
Our team is experienced in working within tight project timelines. This applies to standalone installations and installing fast-action doors as part of a larger construction project.

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our fully qualified engineers carry out every installation to the highest industry standards. We prioritise:

  • Health and safety compliance
  • Efficient, tidy workmanship
  • Minimal disruption to your workflow

Your new high-speed roller shutter doors will be operational in no time, helping you maintain productivity and security.

Step 5: Testing and Handover

Before we consider the job complete, we perform rigorous testing to ensure everything functions perfectly:

  • Safety checks
  • Speed and cycle testing
  • Integration with existing systems

We’ll provide full operational training for your team and detailed documentation for future reference.

Step 6: Aftercare and Ongoing Support

Your investment in fast-action doors deserves long-term protection. That’s why we offer a comprehensive maintenance and servicing plan to:

  • Prevent costly breakdowns
  • Extend door lifespan
  • Maintain compliance with regulations

Our Industrial Door Repair Service means you can rely on us for support within 72 hours.
