What we fit in Flint

Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Powered door rules that apply in Flint

Flint is in Wales, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Flint?

Yes. When we convert a door to power, we carry out the risk assessment, test the door and issue the Declaration of Conformity and user instructions, as the person who has made it a machine.

Which activation would suit our Flint 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.

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

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