Smart-Start Rapid Access
Rapid vertical movement reduces the time staff wait at the testing-room entrance and helps the door return to the closed position after use.
SEPPES Smart-Start Project Case
SEPPES Smart-Start Laboratory High Speed Door for Frequent Access
SEPPES supplied a Smart-Start laboratory high speed door to give this new testing room fast, economical internal access through a W1460 x H2800 mm opening, using simple push-button operation on both sides. SEPPES also supplied a compact Bluetooth garage door for a separate private-vehicle opening in the same factory project.
Laboratory Access Requirement
Frequent internal access without unnecessary security hardware
The W1460 x H2800 mm opening is used frequently during laboratory and testing activities. Because the doorway is located inside the production building and no anti-theft function was required, a flexible PVC high speed door offered a more economical fit than a rigid security door.
Push buttons were specified on both sides so personnel can request opening deliberately when entering or leaving. This avoids unnecessary radar activation around a controlled testing space and keeps the operating method straightforward.
The installed yellow curtain includes a dark transparent vision panel, helping personnel observe activity on the opposite side before passing through. For similar laboratory roll up door projects, vision-panel position, traffic direction, warning devices, and safety sensing should be reviewed before the final configuration is approved.
- Rapid access for repeated internal movement.
- Simple two-sided push-button operation.
- No exterior anti-theft requirement.
- Dark transparent vision panel for two-way observation.
- Custom dimensions based on an on-site survey.
Selected Door Solution
Why the SEPPES Smart-Start PVC door matched the laboratory opening
Smart-Start is the SEPPES high speed roll-up door series for frequent internal industrial passages. This project configuration focused on the actual laboratory duty: frequent cycles, uncomplicated personnel access, appropriate separation, and sensible project cost.
Right-Sized Control
Manual buttons on both sides match deliberate personnel movement without adding vehicle sensors or access logic that the room does not need.
Economical Indoor Fit
A flexible internal high speed door meets the stated use more economically than a rigid high speed door designed for security, wind, or exterior duty.

Measured and Customized
Why the customer selected SEPPES for two factory door solutions
SEPPES measured the openings, prepared customized drawings, and configured each door around its own operating conditions instead of applying one product type throughout the building.
The SEPPES Smart-Start laboratory high speed door was kept practical: a yellow PVC curtain with a dark vision panel, double-sided manual buttons, and no added anti-theft function. The customer valued product quality, performance, SEPPES brand credibility, and a technical proposal that clearly responded to the measured site.
The purchase decision also reflected the customer's visit to SEPPES. Viewing physical samples helped the buyer assess construction and finish directly. Professional on-site measurement, coordinated delivery, and SEPPES installation personnel gave the customer additional confidence while the factory relocation was moving on a tight schedule.
Final safety devices, control positions, closing delay, power supply, and mounting details must follow the approved project drawing and technical agreement. The term “laboratory” describes the application in this case; no cleanroom class, pressure differential, or certified contamination-control performance was specified.
Additional compact garage door in the same project
A separate W5370 x H3260 mm compact rigid garage door was supplied for the owner's vehicle. The customer selected a deep coffee finish after viewing a sample and chose an in-vehicle Bluetooth device that requests automatic opening as the authorized vehicle approaches.
Because there was no separate installation space above the garage opening, the head assembly was arranged directly beneath the beam. A rear closure panel and perimeter sealant completed the interface. Pedestrian exposure, recognition distance, obstacle protection, and backup operation should be commissioned as part of the complete automatic-door system. See the UK HSE's guidance on separating pedestrians and vehicles for wider workplace-transport context.

FAQ
Questions about laboratory high speed doors
Why was a PVC high speed door selected for this laboratory?
The opening is inside the factory, is used frequently, and had no anti-theft requirement. The SEPPES Smart-Start PVC high speed roll-up door therefore offered a practical and economical match for the confirmed duty.
Which SEPPES product series was used?
The laboratory opening uses the SEPPES Smart-Start High Speed Roll-Up Door series, configured for this project with a yellow PVC curtain, a dark transparent vision panel, and manual push buttons on both sides.
How is the laboratory door opened?
This project uses manual push buttons on both sides. Similar doors can use other activation methods, but the final control should match who uses the opening and how traffic approaches it.
What is the laboratory high speed door size?
The confirmed project opening is W1460 x H2800 mm, with one door supplied. These dimensions describe this case and are not a universal product limit.
Does the curtain include a vision window?
Yes. The installed yellow PVC curtain includes a dark transparent vision panel so personnel can observe the opposite side of the doorway. Its final height and position should follow the approved project drawing.
Is this a certified cleanroom door?
No cleanroom class, room pressure, air-leakage target, or contamination-control certification was specified for this project. It should be described as a laboratory or testing-room high speed door, not as a certified cleanroom door.
What information is needed for a similar project?
Provide the opening dimensions, headroom, side room, mounting surface, room purpose, traffic frequency, activation method, visibility requirement, safety package, power supply, installation schedule, and site photographs.
