What we fit in Lurgan
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Jobs we can carry out
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Powered door rules in Northern Ireland
Lurgan 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. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Lurgan
Can our door in Lurgan 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 automated doors in Lurgan 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.
How long does a door automation job take in Lurgan?
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.
