Industrial Door Prices

There is no single price for an industrial door, and any figure quoted before the opening is seen is a guess. Two doors of the same width can differ substantially in cost depending on insulation, motor specification, wind loading and what has to happen to the structure before the door can be fitted. We survey and issue a written, itemised quotation rather than publishing a headline price.

The largest single factor is the opening itself — width and height determine the curtain, the barrel and the motor size, and cost rises faster than area because larger curtains need heavier lath and stronger fixings. Door type comes next: a galvanised roller shutter, an insulated foam-filled shutter, a sectional overhead door, a high speed door and a fire-rated shutter sit at very different points, because each is a different product rather than an upgrade of the same one.

Operation and controls follow. Manual chain hoist is the cheapest, single-phase electric operation adds the motor and control gear, and three-phase inverter drives with soft start suit high-cycle openings. Safety edges and photocells are not optional on a powered door — they are part of EN 13241-1 compliance and are included in every quotation we issue.

Finally, site conditions. Removing and disposing of an old door, repairing or forming a structural opening, steelwork, restricted access, working at height, or fitting outside operating hours all carry real cost. These are the items that most often separate a cheap quotation from an accurate one, so we identify them at survey instead of raising variations later.
