What we fit in Peterhead
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
What this work can involve
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Peterhead 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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Which activation would suit our Peterhead 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Peterhead?
Yes. When we convert a door to power, we carry out the risk assessment, test the door and issue the Declaration of Conformity and user instructions, as the person who has made it a machine.
How long does a door automation job take in Peterhead?
A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.
