Can I Buy a Faster Opening and Closing Roller Shutter Door?
Ask about a roller shutter with sufficient strength in the curtain to deal with the forces of a more powerful electric motor, which can move the door curtain faster. A faster opening and closing roller door is a great way of greater efficiency if you have a lot of operations per day.
Usually a faster operating electric roller shutter will use a double skinned steel curtain in order to take the greater forces of the electric motor drive. It is best when there is a soft start and soft stop in the motor controls to avoid a sudden jerk on the shutter when operating, which may cause damage longer term.
Many customers wanting a faster opening roller door are perfectly happy with one of our faster speed, steel roller shutter doors, instead of investing in a high speed fabric door, along with their existing door system in place. We find most customers simply want a faster door than the one they have which is usually a low quality budget steel shutter with a very basic electric motor drive and controls.
