Options for door automation and controls in Sandhurst

Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

What this work can involve

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Sandhurst are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Sandhurst 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 Sandhurst: your questions

Can our door in Sandhurst 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Berkshire?

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

Which activation would suit our Sandhurst 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.
