Door automation and controls in Portadown

In short

Busy door at your Portadown (BT62) site? Inverter control, induction loops or radar can open it as traffic arrives and close it straight after, with photocells and safety edges watching the opening.

Town: Portadown
Postcode district: BT62
Area: Armagh
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

Examples of work we can quote for

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Portadown?

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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
