Is this a high-speed door?
A high-speed door opens and closes much faster than a standard door. It's often used between areas inside a plant, or at a freezer, to keep air and temperature where they belong. The curtain is the part that moves: fabric, rubber, or rigid panels. It runs in side channels called guides.
| What you see | Type | What to mention |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible fabric curtain that opens fast | Fabric high-speed door | Where the curtain is now |
| Curtain that pops out of its guides on impact and feeds back in | Breakaway or self-repairing door | Whether it's out of the guides |
| Fast rigid slats or panels | Rigid high-speed door | Any error code already showing |
| High-speed door at a freezer or cooler | Cold-storage high-speed door | Which side is cold |
| Industrial sliding or folding door | Industrial sliding or folding opening | How it moves and what it's for |
| Standard slats that coil slowly | Standard roll-up | Roll-up door repair |
DASMA 403-2026 is the industry "Specification for High Speed Doors and Grilles" (DASMA standards). Makers include Rytec, ASSA ABLOY (formerly Albany), Rite-Hite and Wayne Dalton. A brand only helps the provider know the door.
Industrial sliding and folding doors
Some plants have large sliding or folding doors instead. Describe how the door moves, what it's for, and where it is. Say whether it's a vehicle opening or a climate barrier. Automatic doors for people, like store entrances, aren't covered.
Common high-speed door problems
Tell the provider the door type and any error code. Don't cycle the door to "see what it does."
| What you're seeing or hearing | What a qualified provider may inspect | Why it matters | How to report it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curtain out of the guides after a hit | Curtain, guides, breakaway parts | The door can't seal or cycle | What hit it |
| Curtain torn | Curtain panels | Air and temperature leak | How big the tear is |
| Stops or reverses | Sensors, light curtain, controls | The system that keeps people from being hit | When it reverses |
| Runs slow | Drive, motor, controls | Heat or cold escapes | Since when |
| Error code on the control box | Controls | The code helps find the fault | The code, if you can read it from where you stand |
| Won't open for a forklift | Activation device, controls | Traffic stops | Which way it fails |
| Frost or ice at a freezer door | Seals, heaters, curtain | Ice can jam the door | Where the ice forms |
| Grinding or banging | Drive, guides, bearings | Wear that can lead to a bigger failure | When it happens |
| Stays open | Controls, sensors, drive | Temperature and security loss | "Stuck open" |
| Dead after a power loss | Power, controls, drive | The door won't cycle | Whether other equipment came back |
Tell the provider the door type and any error code.
Cold-storage and freezer doors
Commercial freezer and cooler doors at cold-storage and food facilities are covered. Household freezers and appliance repair are not. Report frost or ice build-up, seal damage, and the temperature on each side if you know it. If your door isn't high-speed, say what kind it is when you call.
High-speed door stopped or stuck open?
Call (385) 325-7138 and say the door is stopped, and where — Davenport, Moline or elsewhere in the metro. If an independent provider takes the request, it confirms whether and when it can come. This page can't promise a time.
- Keep people and forklifts clear of the opening.
- Don't keep cycling the door.
- Don't try to feed the curtain back into the guides. Report it.
- Follow your facility's process for closing off that route.
If the door is stuck open to a freezer, say so first.
What's included and what isn't
Included: fabric, breakaway and rigid high-speed doors; industrial sliding and folding doors; cold-storage and freezer doors at commercial facilities; and their operators, controls and sensors.
Not included: household freezers and appliance repair; refrigeration systems; walk-in cooler hardware for restaurants; automatic doors for people; standard rolling doors (see roll-up door repair); and sectional doors (see overhead door repair).
Operators, sensors and local checks
UL 325 is the safety standard for door operators rated 600 volts or less (UL 325). DASMA says, "UL 325 is a safety standard primarily intended to provide provisions to help protect individuals from becoming trapped under a moving motor-operated door." It adds: "Installers must follow the door manufacturers' installation instructions involving entrapment protection features" (DASMA TDS 457).
Wiring rules change at the river. Iowa licenses electrical work statewide. Illinois cities register electrical contractors. The provider decides who does the wiring. For a new or replacement door and its permit, see door installation and replacement.
