Keeping Your Business Secure From The Outside

You have a new business premises or you need to make your existing property safer or more efficient. You will be looking for industrial doors in Northampton.

There are many different types of industrial doors: sliding, roller, sectional, hinged and personal doors. All types offer security and some of them can be fire doors. Whichever type you choose you want to buy them from a local company that provides quality products, quickly and efficiently. You are also going to need some experienced assistance in choosing the best industrial doors in Northampton you can find. A warranty of at least 12 months is an industry standard and you should ensure this is offered as well.

Personal doors are the easiest doors to consider. These are the doors that your staff will use to go to and from the premises and its rooms. The outside door must be secure of course and you should really consider an alarm system as well. Internal doors will need to have some kind of fire retardant to comply with UK fire regulations.

Bay doors are the doors that open up to your loading bays. Obviously they will need to be big enough to allow for your usual lorries, vans and/or trucks to back into the bay. As accidents during backing up of a large vehicle are common they also need to be fairly sturdy. Roller shutter doors, that as the name suggests, roll upwards, are common for bay doors because they take up little room.

Sectional doors, that open and shut in sections are very sturdy and are more appropriate when access is required but the whole vehicle does not need to back into the premises. Sectional doors can also be securely glazed, letting in large amounts of light into an otherwise gloomy building. These types of doors also allow for the bad weather to be kept out as you can open just the section you need.

Sliding doors are very popular and really useful when only part of the building is needed at a time. The can slide from left to right or vice versa and the sliding sections can be of varying sizes allowing for a high level of customisation.

Hinged doors are the most secure of the doors available. They can hinge in sections or just one hinge, depending upon the size of the door space. This type of door is ideal for a fire or security door. Large hinged doors can also have smaller exit and/or emergency doors within the design. This not only ensures an exit in an emergency but also allows staff, delivery staff and customers to entrance and exit without opening the full door to the elements.

There are a lot of factors to take into consideration and even more choices to secure your business. If you find an experienced and trusted supplier of industrial doors in Northampton they will guide you through the process. Tell them what you are hoping to achieve, a rough idea of your measurements and be guided by them.
