What to specify
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Armagh?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Armagh vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Armagh?
Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Armagh follows a free survey.
Do automated doors in Armagh 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.
Which activation would suit our Armagh 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.
