Also searched as: Zipper Self Repairing Rapid Door · Emergency Breakaway High Speed Door
The High Speed Zipper Door is a self-repairing rapid door whose curtain edges zip into the side guides instead of running in a hard track. The zippered edge gives an exceptionally tight seal, lets the curtain flex and re-seat after a forklift impact, and removes the need for a rigid breakaway bar – making it a low-maintenance choice for busy, impact-prone openings.
Self-repairing zipper / rapid doors typically run about 1.0-2.0 m/s (industry synthesis). Competitor reference points include Seppes’ flexible doors at 0.8-1.2 m/s and RiteHite’s impact-tolerant models with Auto Re-feed and Soft Breakaway curtain-recovery features. RAX sizes travel speed and impact-recovery behavior to your traffic profile and confirms them per project.
As a pure manufacturer, RAX builds each zipper door to your exact opening and RAL color – from a single unit, no minimum order – with wiring diagrams and English manuals for your local installers.
Sources & honesty: RAX-company facts on this page (materials, 100,000-cycle fatigue testing, certifications held, warranty, lead time) are from RAX Door Technology’s approved brand brief. Industry benchmark figures (typical opening speeds, cycle-life ranges, EN 12424 wind classes, ISO 14644-1 cleanroom classes, competitor reference points) are drawn from our sourced category research (research/high-speed-doors.md) and are marked as industry-typical or attributed to the named manufacturer. RAX’s own measured speed, U-value, wind-class certificate and cleanroom class are confirmed per project by test – we do not publish them as generic figures. Fire resistance (EN 1634-1) and ATEX suitability are project-specific capabilities, not blanket certificates.
Zippered edges flex on impact and re-seat on the next cycle, reducing downtime and part replacement after forklift contact.
The zip-in edge compresses against the guides for strong air-tightness – valuable for cold-chain and clean-zone openings (value confirmed per project).
Closed-loop servo for high duty cycle or VFD economy – both manufactured in-house by RAX.
Zipper edge and drive validated against RAX’s 100,000-cycle fatigue protocol; servo motor backed by a 5-year warranty.

RAX supports full private-label production of the High Speed Zipper Door: custom RAL panel colors, operator matching, packaging printing and installation-manual translation (EN/ES/FR/AR/RU). Start with a 1-unit OEM sample and scale to container-load branded production. Custom molds, Tooling records are archived for up to 5 years — no extra tooling fee on repeat orders, all under strict NDA.
Product standard for industrial, commercial and garage doors – the harmonized basis for CE marking. Covers mechanical and power-operated safety, wind-pressure and water-penetration resistance, thermal (U-value) and air-permeability performance, with technical documentation retained 10 years.
Safety in use of power-operated doors – operating-force limits and entrapment protection, and the test methods behind our operator safety data.
Wind-load resistance classification (Class 0-5) and the test method for doors. Class 0 denotes no declared wind performance; Class 5 (‘Exceptional’, above 1000 Pa) is set by special maker-buyer agreement.
Any opening size within the High Speed Doors range – large industrial doors from 1 unit, no MOQ. Share your opening width x height (or site photos) and our engineers confirm the feasible span, wind class and drive sizing, then produce technical drawings.
Self-repairing zipper rapid doors typically open around 1.0-2.0 m/s (industry synthesis); closing speeds are usually lower for safety. RAX sizes the travel speed and impact-recovery behavior to your traffic profile and confirms the figures in the project quotation.
The curtain edges zip into the side guides rather than running in a rigid track, so if a forklift nudges the curtain it can flex out and then re-seat itself on the next open/close cycle – instead of derailing or needing a manual reset. This reduces downtime and spare-part costs in impact-prone traffic. RAX can also supply a breakaway / re-feed curtain concept for heavier impact risk.
We are a pure manufacturer and do not provide on-site installation. Every order ships with an English installation manual, wiring diagrams for your local installation team; operators are pre-set and tested before dispatch.
RAX holds ISO 9001:2015 and CE to EN 13241 (industrial door) and EN 12453 (operator safety), with SGS material reports and product liability insurance. Fire resistance (EI60/EI120) and an EN 12424 wind-load class are project-specific capabilities we test and certify per order against the matching standard – we do not overclaim a blanket rating.
