Every second counts, especially in busy industrial and commercial environments. In many premises, conventional doors are slow to operate, becoming a bottleneck that leads to wasted time and reduced productivity, as well as wasted energy and significant heat loss. When a large door takes too long to cycle, your climate control systems have to work overtime to compensate, and your operations flow slows right down. This is where a high speed door is a key addition.
For UK businesses looking to optimise traffic flow and maintain climate control, our range of high speed doors offer an effective solution. Each of our high speed models are designed to deliver fast operation, substantial energy saving abilities, and enhanced operational safety for your staff and visitors.

The MDS High Speed Door Range
With over 20 years of experience in manufacturing, supplying and installing all types of industrial shutters and doors, we have developed a range of high speed door systems to suit different business premises and usage needs.
Turbo Roll High Speed Door – Speed, Durability and Versatility
For many businesses, regardless of their industry, the main goal for finding a door system is the right balance between speed and everyday durability. Our Turbo Roll Speed Door is designed to be a great all-rounder. With opening speeds of up to 1000mm/s, it ensures that traffic can move freely without delay.
It features brush seals at the top and each side of the door, along with a vinyl loop at the bottom that provide an excellent barrier against noise and vermin, making it a top choice for supermarkets, warehouses, and clean rooms.
A key feature is the “reinsertion system.” If the door curtain is dislodged by an impact, it automatically resets itself, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. This model of door is particularly effective for maintaining constant temperatures on retail sales floors and food preparation areas.
Turbo Fold High Speed Doors – For Large Openings
When dealing with huge openings, standard rolling mechanisms can sometimes struggle, and a Turbo Fold Speed Door is better suited. Designed for internal and external openings of up to 10m wide, this door features a reliable and robust folding mechanism, rather than a traditional rolling system.
The Turbo Fold door is well suited for factories, large scale distribution centres, and other industrial settings where wind load and opening size are factors to consider. In addition to the folding mechanism, another technical feature is the soft start and finish inverter drive, which reduces mechanical wear and tear, helping increase longevity of doors, even in demanding environments.
Zip Speed Doors – Putting Safety First
For high traffic areas where forklifts, pump trucks and personnel are constantly moving, safety and resilience are paramount. Our Zip Speed Door is engineered to have no rigid bottom bars, and features self-repair technology, making it extremely forgiving in the event of an accidental impact. If hit, the curtain simply releases from the door guides and re-zips itself on the next cycle.
Ice Speed Doors – Temperature Control
Cold storage presents the unique challenge of keeping the cold in, whilst keeping the heat and moisture out. Our Ice Speed Door is designed specifically for cold rooms and frozen food storage rooms, helping them to maintain temperatures as low as -30°C.
These insulated doors are constructed with a twin-skin 900g/m² curtain with an internal heating system to prevent dangerous ice buildup on the door components. Ice Speed Doors also feature an impressive opening spend of 1500mm/s, minimising exposure to ambient air and critical for maintaining the cold chain in food logistics.
Revolver Speed Door – Space Saving Durability
In many facilities, space is a premium. Revolver Speed Doors address this with a simple spiral/chain drive system that doesn’t require extended backroom. To drastically reduce friction and wear, the design of this door system ensures that the door panels don’t touch during operation, allowing for up to 200,000 cycles without requiring major servicing.
Featuring an insulated 40mm door leaf for superior U-value performance, Revolver Speed Doors are a great choice for premises with restricted ceiling space that still require high durability and thermal efficiency.
Dual Doors – Speed and Security
For businesses that need the speed of a fabric door during the busy daytime hours, but also require the robustness of industrial roller shutter doors at night, MDS Dual Doors provide the best of both worlds.
This door system combines high speed action of up to 1000mm/s for daytime logistics with high security double skin laths for protection overnight. In addition to speed and security, it also offers a 22dB acoustic insulation value, so it is a great choice for noisy industrial facilities located close to residential areas.
