What to specify
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Congleton 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
Most installations in Congleton 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.

Questions from businesses in Congleton
Do automated doors in Congleton 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.
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Cheshire?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Cheshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
Which activation would suit our Congleton 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.
