High-Speed Doors

When forklifts move through an opening every minute, the door has to get out of the way fast and forgive the occasional hit. That's what high-speed doors are built for.

High-Speed Doors in Sacramento & Northern California

High-speed doors open at several feet per second, close as soon as traffic clears, and — depending on the type — reset themselves after a forklift contact instead of coming off the track. Fabric roll-up doors handle interior traffic and climate separation, rubber doors take exterior exposure and impact, and rigid slat high-speed doors add security for exterior openings. They cut energy loss, keep conditioned and refrigerated spaces stable, control dust and pests, and keep material handling moving.

Guardian Door LLC installs, repairs, and services high-speed door systems across Sacramento and Northern California for distribution centers, cold storage and food processing plants, manufacturing facilities, pharmaceutical and clean environments, car washes, and parking structures. We service curtains and panels, side columns and guides, drive units and control panels, activation sensors and loops, safety light curtains and photo eyes, and breakaway and self-repair systems.
