What we fit in Carrickfergus
- 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.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Carrickfergus?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Carrickfergus 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.

Questions from businesses in Carrickfergus
Can our door in Carrickfergus 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Carrickfergus?
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.
Which activation would suit our Carrickfergus 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.
