What we fit in Ballymoney

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
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.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules in Northern Ireland

Ballymoney is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Ballymoney can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Door automation and controls in Ballymoney: your questions

Which activation would suit our Ballymoney 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around County Antrim?

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

Do automated doors in Ballymoney need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.
