FAQ's
How fast do high-speed doors operate?
Commercial high-speed doors are designed to open and close much faster than standard models, typically operating at speeds between 24 and 60 inches per second, with some advanced versions reaching 80 to 100 inches per second. They usually close slightly slower for safety, averaging 18 to 48 inches per second.
While a standard commercial overhead door may take 15 to 30 seconds to open fully, a high-speed door can do so in just 2 to 5 seconds. This faster operation improves energy efficiency by reducing air exchange, boosts productivity by minimizing wait times for forklifts and vehicles, and enhances security by limiting unauthorized access or pests.
What’s the average lifespan of a high-speed overhead door?
The average lifespan of a commercial high-speed overhead door is typically 10 to 20 years, depending on the quality of the door, how heavily it is used, and how well it is maintained. In terms of usage, most high-speed doors are rated for up to 1 million open-and-close cycles, with some heavy-duty models designed for even more. Regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts, replacing worn seals, and inspecting safety systems, can significantly extend the life of the door. On the other hand, environments with very high traffic, extreme temperatures, or poor upkeep may shorten its lifespan.
Can these doors be customized for my facility’s size and needs?
Yes, commercial high-speed overhead doors can be customized to fit your facility’s specific size, layout, and operational needs. Manufacturers typically offer a wide range of sizes, materials, and configurations to accommodate everything from large warehouse openings to smaller interior passageways. You can also choose options such as insulation for climate control, impact-resistant materials for heavy traffic areas, specialized safety features, vision panels or full clear sections for visibility, and different opening speeds depending on your workflow. Many suppliers also provide custom colors, finishes, and integration with access control or automation systems so the door blends seamlessly with your building’s design and operations.
