Industrial Door Systems
Industrial doors are the heart of Samson Doors established in 1994 to supply a wide range of roller shutter doors to the trade and industry. Since then we have developed many other industrial door ranges to cover multiple applications and almost any size of opening. We offer doors for climate control, security, acoustic control, high speed operation for heavy traffic, fire control, and many other customer requirements.
All our industrial doors are manufactured to the highest modern standards and produced in steel or aluminum with some fabric and glass for the fabric fast action doors and then for all vision panels used on almost any of the doors.
Compliance
Doors in any industrial environment almost always need to be strong and resilient to the conditions but the most important factor for the industrial building operator is compliance.
All doors used in application with employees have to be tested and compliant with their application and intended use. You cannot just buy any generic door and hope it is OK because it had a title which suited your perception. It has to be BS-EN certified in its basic form and then certified for further features requested with the door
We work with some of the very best UK and European manufacturers to bring the best industrial door products to you, the customer. We expect the best in quality for the most reliable, trouble free use and guaranteed longevity.
Industrial Roller Shutter Doors
An industrial roller door isn't just a larger roller garage door, it is a roller shutter built with far stronger and larger basic components for operating the larger steel or aluminum curtain along with far larger electric motor drives with options for direct drive or chain geared drive. Single or three phase electric motor drives and vary different access control panels and accessories to assist multiple users safely with operating the door.
All our roller shutter doors are made to order in every way, you specify the size, colour, electric drive type, controls and fitting position within the aperture.
We offer single skin steel and aluminium curtains and then ever more popular double skinned insulated steel curtains for insulation but often for greater security and wind stability too.
Powder coat colour finishes with optional hood covers for added weather protection and aesthetics.

Security rated roller shutters are becoming far more popular for any building which has one or more exposed external doors. We can offer LPS1175 rated shutters at SR1, SR2 and SR3 ratings. They are of course Secured by Design as well for the police preferred specification and so often now an insurance requirement too.
Some Roller Shutter Door Features offered by Samson Doors:
- Basic single skin steel for budget application
- Double skin insulated models for better climate control
- Security rated roller doors for insurance and peace of mind
- High speed models which fill the gap between a slower basic electric roller shutter and a fast action fabric roller door. A lot of people just want a faster roller shutter door
- Hi usage with 24 hour operation - Hi duty rated electric motor drive
- Extra large - Roller shutters up to 18m wide and 12m high
- Perforated, punched or vision slats within the curtain options
- Quieter adjustable motor drive speeds with GfA motors

Insulated Sectional Overhead Doors
The insulated sectional overhead door is a door offering the greatest levels of performance even in their basic standard form. Double skinned steel foam filled door panels ranging between 40mm and 100mm and offering high levels of acoustic and thermal performance like no other door can on larger openings.
The panels are strong and the tracking mechanism is versatile to suit most building shapes where you might have a high roof and then specify the tracking to slide up the vertical wall to a greater height and then follow the roofline internally.
Industrial sectional doors can use very large vision sections when required to offer double or triple glazed panel sections for maximum natural light and vision. These are great in many applications.
The secret pedestrian door Inset
The inset pedestrian access door in an insulated sectional door is the real secret and benefit for this superb door system. A proper size pedestrian access door built into the main door, with no compromise on security and simple operation. Easy access in or out without touching the main door. Almost no threshold and perfect for so many buildings with regular pedestrian traffic in and out.
- Great strength and security in its basic form
- Manual or electric operation with ease at any size
- Sizes up to 10m width and 8m high
- Aesthetically pleasing door panels with window and large vision panel options
- Very quiet operation with excellent safety detection systems as standard
- Pedestrian access door within main door with large standard size offered
- Configurable tracking arrangements to suit building design
- High speed models available

Industrial Folding Sliding Doors
A very overlooked industrial door solution for so many buildings, especially with larger or very wide openings. Internal or external use and configurable to suit the intended use and access by pedestrians and vehicles.
Insulated double skin steel panels in varying sizes between 40 and 80mm thick and offering great strength and the ability to include a smaller pedestrian door access in any panel as required. This pedestrian door can be used as an emergency exit panic door with the right internal furniture fitted.
A steel folding door is ideal when you have limited headroom or no internal fitting points for other door options, but is also an obvious choice where access is infrequent as you can simply use one door for access and leave the rest of the door panels locked and closed.
We can offer high speed folding doors with electric operation. Many industrial folding doors are specified manually operated simply because the operation is infrequent.
Our Samson Adone is a very popular folding door model because it does not have any ground tracking and all operation is from above. It is an insulated steel folding door system with sizes up to 11.5m wide and 6m high with variable panel configurations to suit.
Industrial Steel Folding Door benefits:
- Low ware and maintenance with minimal stress and moving parts
- Insulated panels to offer increased acoustic and thermal protection
- Almost any sizes are possible, especially in the width
- Very cost effective on larger size openings
- Extremely quiet operation and easy to operate manually
- Aesthetically pleasing doors with multiple window options
- Fully glazed models available for retail applications

Industrial Steel Sliding Doors
Simple, quiet and totally reliable door solution offering a double skinned steel door panel sliding on a top rail, bottom rail or combination of both, depending on size and application.
Straight sliding doors rely on a space to one or both sides for the door to slide but otherwise take up little space inside the building.
Like the steel folding doors they are quiet, smooth and offer high performance with the various insulated panels available. We have fire rated models and doors with optional pedestrian wicket doors inset for simple pedestrian access whilst the door is closed.
Made to measure and available for internal or external use this is a door type to consider when others are looking difficult to incorporate.
Industrial Steel Doorsets
Our range of steel doorsets for internal or external applications in the industrial workplace is one of the most extensive in the UK. A steel door is perfect for any site offering the greatest strength and overall integrity and also a wide choice of performance ratings too depending where it is to be used.
Made to measure and made in the UK, not off the shelf and reconfigured using a cheap imported panel which isn't compliant under scrutiny, we offer the highest quality double skinned steel doorsets which are always fully certified and compliant for their application and purpose.
Some popular industrial steel doorset applications:
- Fire rated at 60, 90, 120 and 240 min ratings
- Acoustic rated doorsets to control noise within buildings
- Insulated doors to control climate
- Fully glazed doors for vision and light and possible with fire rating too
- Emergency exit and fire escape doors for the external fabric of the building
- Security rated doors where high value or high risk is an issue - LPS1175 - SR1, SR2, SR3 and SR4 rated doorsets
- Louvered doors for air flow ventilation and heat outlet
- Double width doors for wider openings and inter building transition
- General purpose stronger doors for heavy usage with high traffic volumes
A steel doorset is the perfect choice for any door in an industrial building - factory, workshop, warehouse and many other sectors where heavy use is possible but also hard wearing is required too. You need a strong heavy duty hinged door which is also easy to operate at all times and therefore need the highest quality hardware and hinges for durability but ease of use.
Industrial Security Products
We work with many companies to supply and install physical steel or aluminium security products such as shutters, grilles or security bars. For doors, windows or other open spaces we can provide a wide variety of medium to heavy duty steel security solutions.
Proper security shutters with locking devices and grilles and bars with patented security features to prevent or slow down any forced attack are perfect for any building which might be located remotely or in an area where there is a high risk of burglary or vandalism.
Prevention of access is better than any alarm system in our view. Carefully thought out external fitted security shutters can lock down a building providing peace of mind that access will be extremely difficult and probably very noisy too.
All our shutter are made to measure and either in high grade steel or extruded double skinned aluminium for the best resistance.
We can offer LPS1175 certified shutters to level SR1, SR2 and SR3 when required
Our retractable security grilles are available to SR3.
We also offer collapsible trackless expanding steel barriers which can be used to close off open areas to access with options to be on trolley wheel systems to use in other areas around your building as required.
Industrial High Speed Doors
We offer a wide range of high speed rolling door systems which can be faster steel roller shutters or the fast action fabric doors used for climate control in a building where there is heavy traffic in and out but the internal climate needs to be kept as constant as possible.
In many cases we have found that a building manager or owner has an old steel roller shutter of low quality and actually just wants a faster roller shutter. This is perfectly possible and we have several models to support this. The roller door math ave to be a double skinned curtain simply to have the strength to deal with the higher powered and fast action motor drive, so you would effectively get an insulated higher speed roller door, 2 door performances in one.
Automatic Security Entrance Gates
Samson Doors now work alongside our sister company AGD Systems with the provision of a new range of industrial steel entrance gates. Available as swing, bi folding and sliding mechanisms the automatic gate ranges cover most sizes and are available in manual and electric operated versions.
All the gates are a high grade steel construction and alongside AGD Systems we can offer supply only or a full installation service too.
We work with a wide range of different commercial, industrial and domestic sectors across the UK, here are just some of our recent partners:
