What we fit in Aylesbury

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.

Typical scopes of work

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Aylesbury 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about door automation and controls

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Aylesbury?

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 Aylesbury follows a free survey.

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

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

Which activation would suit our Aylesbury 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.
