What we fit in Fraserburgh

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

What this work can involve

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Fraserburgh are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

Can our door in Fraserburgh be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Which activation would suit our Fraserburgh site?

It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
