High Speed Doors
Samson Doors offer a comprehensive range of High Speed Flexible Roller Curtains, High Speed Insulated Spiral Roller Doors and an ever increasing range of High Speed Industrial Roller Shutter Doors.We also supply the Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door for extra large openings where conventional rolling doors are not practical.
A high speed door on an external aperture on any building is going to increase daily efficiency all round, as well as potentially saving money on energy costs. Optimised work and accelerated logistic processes are all achieved using the right high speed door. The high speed automatic opening and closing of these vertical operating rapid roll doors will provide valuable energy saving by maintaining the internal room temperature, and also reduce contamination from airborne pollution and the ingress of insects and vermin, essential in controlled warehouses and buildings.
There are three main types of high speed door we supply, plus a specialist large opening folding option:
- Fabric High Speed Doors for internal traffic, hygiene zones and climate separation, usually paired with an outer secure door.
- Insulated Steel High Speed Roller and Spiral Doors for external openings, combining speed, security and insulation in one product.
- Faster Replacement Roller Shutters for customers upgrading from older slow electric roller doors.
- Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door for extra large openings beyond the limits of a standard rapid roll door.

I Just Want a Faster Door!
What we have experienced are ever increasing numbers of customers stating they would like a high speed door, but then we find out it is actually just a faster door than the one they have been using for so many years. Older, far less efficient and out of date electric roller shutters will often have very basic electric motor drives, sometimes taking up to 2 minutes to open fully on a 5m high door.
With a little more investment you can have a brand new steel roller shutter door with all the security, safety and usually double skinned slats for strength, providing insulation too, but the big difference will be an opening time of around 15 to 20 seconds.

Samson can offer double skinned, insulated steel roller shutter doors with high performance electric motor drives and other enhancements. Basic doors with widths up to 7m wide and 7m high with GFA three phase direct drive motors will give you much faster operation cycles and also high usage potential, so you can open and close far more often during the working hours. The result is a modern shutter that looks the same as the one it replaces, but performs many times better in daily use, with lower energy losses through the open aperture and far less wear on the motor and drive components.

High Performance and Ultra High Speed Spiral Doors
The range of very high performance, double skinned, insulated, super fast roller doors is ever increasing, mainly because of increased demand in building performance and technology in motor drives and materials. Having one rolling shutter type door which performs multiple functions is perfect for so many buildings, particularly on external doors.
Our 'Spiral' type doors are almost a sectional and roller hybrid in their workings and performance. Larger, double skinned, insulated steel panels which spiral around a large endplate with technology to ensure the individual slats never make contact with each other. The result is a super fast operating cycle and minimal wear and tear, while offering the very highest insulation and security available in a single industrial door.
Specification and Performance
Specification and performance on some models provides:
- U values of up to 0.64 W/(m².K)
- Class 5 wind loading (less than 5m wide)
- Acoustic insulation 26dB (without glazing)
- Up to 3 million cycle life span
- Opening speeds up to 2.5m per second
- Security rating RC2
- Glazing options for light and vision
- Air Permeability (EN12426) Class 2
Although the standard Spiral door is a rolling concept, there are other options with tracking running from horizontal to provide a low headroom option, through to vertically rising for minimum intrusion into the building, and everything in between. There really is no excuse for one of these doors not to fit your building.

2 doors in one?
The simple principle for these high performance doors is that, unlike the standard steel external door operating alongside another high speed fabric curtain, this one door does both roles, and then adds on additional benefits in terms of security, insulation and non contact operation for longevity and low maintenance costs. In theory it is actually 4 doors in one.
Although they might seem like a hefty investment, if you actually do the maths on the two doors and their ongoing maintenance and performance, there is no comparison to be made. One insulated spiral door replaces the cost, complexity and ongoing servicing of two separate door systems, while delivering better insulation, better security and a faster overall traffic flow through the opening.
High Speed Rolling and Folding Fabric Doors.gif)
We have an enormous range of folding and rolling PVC and insulated PVC high speed doors, all designed for efficiency and flexibility in their use for so many applications in industrial and commercial buildings. Most of these doors are used for controlling the atmosphere inside a whole building, or in individual rooms internally, and they are particularly effective at speeding up work flow and reducing energy costs all round.
In most cases these high speed doors are for doorways used by fork lift trucks, and in a busy environment accidents will happen. However, most of the flexible high speed curtains have their own anti crash technology built in. Most doors are designed to come out of their tracking if hit by anything substantial, and then the curtain is saved and can be easily pushed back in to continue operation once more. 'Self Repairing' is the phrase used by most manufacturers, and it dramatically reduces downtime and repair costs over the life of the door.
With built in safety as standard, vision panels for visibility, full or partial colour curtain options, and a wide variety of control methods, these doors are ideal in a huge range of environments, from food production and pharmaceutical clean areas through to busy warehouse and distribution buildings.
Key Benefits
- Reduce energy costs and draughts
- Increase work flow and efficiency
- Suitable for internal or external doorways
- Self repairing anti crash technology
- Low maintenance and very safe in operation
- Minimal headroom and side room needed for installation
Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door for Extra Large Openings
For extra large industrial openings where conventional rolling high speed doors are not practical, we supply the Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door. This specialist high speed folding fabric door has been engineered to handle wide and tall apertures that would normally be beyond the working envelope of a standard rapid roll door, while still delivering the speed, control and efficiency benefits a modern building demands.
The Pack folds vertically into a compact stack at the head of the opening, rather than rolling onto a barrel, which means the door can be specified at sizes well beyond a typical fabric rapid door. This makes it the ideal solution for aircraft hangars, large warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, vehicle workshops, recycling buildings and agricultural or bulk storage buildings, where width or height exceeds the limits of a standard rapid roll door.
The curtain itself is heavy duty reinforced PVC with integrated wind bars for stability, allowing the BMP Pack to perform reliably even on exposed external apertures with high wind loading. Vision panels can be specified for safety and natural light, and the curtain is available in a wide range of colours to suit your building branding. Full safety photocells and a safety edge are fitted as standard, alongside a robust galvanised steel framework designed for long service life in demanding industrial environments.
If you have an extra large opening that needs a high speed solution, please call 01933 448 850 to discuss the Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door specification, or request a quotation online.

UKCA Approved
All the high speed fabric doors we supply meet the very highest levels of safety and are tested, UKCA approved and offer long term durability through some very technologically advanced features.
Frequency inverter control is fitted as standard on all Hormann high speed doors to ensure the fastest speeds and the lowest rate of wear. The entire door mechanism is relieved through the slow start and slow brake action, taking undue stress off the components. We offer both single and three phase electric operation with the added option of an uninterruptible power supply to ensure the door will open in a power failure situation.
The high speed door range includes both vertically and horizontally opening transparent doors with a flexible curtain. They are readily available to be installed in combination with sectional overhead doors and roller shutters, as well as with the powerful new technology of the spiral doors with smooth, strong aluminium profiles.
Which High Speed Door Is Right for You?
Choosing the correct high speed door depends on whether your opening is internal or external, the size of the aperture, how often the door will cycle each day, and whether you need security and insulation built into the door itself.
- Internal opening, high traffic, climate control: Fabric High Speed Door
- External opening, all in one performance: Insulated Steel High Speed Roller or Spiral Door
- Replacing a slow existing shutter: Faster Steel Roller Shutter
- Extra large opening beyond standard sizes: Samson BMP Pack Folding Speed Door
