High-speed doors

Frequently asked questions

High-speed doors

• What is a high-speed door?

  A high-speed door opens and closes much faster than a traditional roll-up – typically 24 to 125 inches per second. That speed helps reduce energy loss, keeps traffic flowing, and improves efficiency in busy facilities.

• What happens if a forklift hits a high-speed door?

  Most high-speed doors feature breakaway designs. The door pops out of its tracks on impact and resets in seconds – no damage, no service call, no drama.

• Where are high-speed doors used?

  Essentially, anywhere speed, temperature control, or security matters. That includes loading docks, distribution centers, cold storage, food processing, clean rooms, parking structures, and automotive dealerships.
