High Speed Doors in Regina
Fast cycling doors for high traffic openings, where a slow door costs heat and time on every pass.
The problem they solve
A conventional overhead door is not slow in any absolute sense. It becomes slow when it is opened dozens of times a shift.
Two costs accumulate. The first is heat. Every cycle a door stands open, a heated building loses conditioned air to a Saskatchewan winter and gains it back on the fuel bill. Twenty seconds does not sound like much until it is multiplied by the number of passes in a day and then by a season.
The second is time. A door that takes twenty seconds to clear puts a queue behind it, and in a plant or a distribution centre that queue is people and equipment standing still.
A high speed door cycles in a fraction of that. The saving comes from the multiplication, which is why the economics depend on cycle count rather than on how big the building is.
Where they fit
Warehouses and distribution centres with constant traffic through the same opening. Manufacturing plants, particularly where different areas need to be held at different temperatures. Cold storage. Food production, where separation between zones is a requirement rather than a preference.
They also turn up on internal openings, not just external ones, wherever two areas of a building need to stay separate while traffic moves between them continuously.
Built differently
A door cycling that often is a different piece of engineering from one opening four times a day. The curtain, the drive, the controls and the safety systems are all specified for very high cycle counts, and the maintenance schedule is correspondingly more important.
That is worth saying plainly. A high speed door that is not serviced will fail, because it is doing many times the work of a standard door. We fit them, and we service and repair them, including units installed by somebody else.

High Speed Doors Questions
What counts as high traffic?
If an opening cycles dozens of times a shift, it qualifies. The economics work on cycle count rather than on building size. A single busy opening in a small plant can justify a high speed door where four quiet openings in a large one cannot.
How much heat does a slow door actually lose?
More than most people assume, because the loss is per cycle and it compounds. A conventional door standing open for twenty seconds each pass, dozens of times a shift, through a Saskatchewan winter, is a real number on the fuel bill.
Are they only for heated buildings?
No. Temperature separation is the most common driver here, but throughput matters too. A door that takes twenty seconds to clear puts a queue behind it in any climate.
Do you service high speed doors already installed?
Yes. They cycle far more than a standard door, so they need proper servicing, and we repair and maintain units we did not supply.
