Fitting high-speed roller doors in Kirkwall
Island addresses, including Kirkwall (KW15), are covered by arrangement: we plan the crossing and book the survey and fitting days together, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
For warehouses, depots and workshops in and around Kirkwall, the door is sized to the opening, the wind on that elevation and the number of cycles a day.
High-cycle openings in Kirkwall, such as busy loading bays and forklift routes, are specified with the motor, controls and safety devices to match the traffic.

Planning and safety in Kirkwall
In Kirkwall, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Safety: Light curtains and activation zones are commissioned on site so the door cannot close on people or vehicles in the opening.
- Maintenance: High cycle counts mean more frequent servicing than ordinary roller doors.

Questions about high-speed roller doors in Kirkwall
Can high-speed doors be used outside?
Yes, with wind-rated construction for the exposure of the opening.
Why use a high-speed door instead of a roller shutter?
Where a door opens many times an hour, a fast door is only open while traffic passes, which saves energy and keeps areas separate.

Yes, by arrangement. Kirkwall is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
Is the survey free in Kirkwall?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Kirkwall are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
