Fast Action Doors

Protek’s high specification Fast Action Doors (also known as Rapid Roll Doors) are designed for external use in high traffic situations. Two versions of the fast action door are available, either roll up or fold up.

In both cases, the Fast Action Doors and associated operating mechanism come as a complete unit. The electrical drive gear is contained within the self supporting frame structure, which can be affixed either externally or internally to the building. This structure also contains the counterbalancing system, utilising weights, giving smooth operation and fast opening of the door in an emergency.

Rapid Roll / Fast Action Doors

All Protek Fast Action Doors incorporate two rows of send and receive photo cell units for safety, which stops the door and returns it to the open position in the event of any obstruction during the closing phase.

Reliable operating controls are essential and the electronic unit integrates control of the electric motor with the safety devices and operating controls. Fast Action Doors can be activated by various types of remote control mechanisms, such as photo-electric cells, microwave radar, mats and induction loops, plus manual push button.

An adjustable timer facilitates control of speed of operation and a manual safety device allows opening in the event of power supply failure. Back up batteries are optional. Panels fit deep into the vertical guides to minimise air leakage, but draught seals can be specified as an option to assist insulation.
