Town: Mold
Postcode district: CH7
Area: Clwyd
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
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.

What this work can involve

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.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Mold 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

Do automated doors in Mold 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Mold?

A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.

Can our door in Mold 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.
