Options for door automation and controls in Wrexham
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Powered door rules that apply in Wrexham
Wrexham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Wrexham?
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 Wrexham follows a free survey.
Can our door in Wrexham 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.
Which activation would suit our Wrexham 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.
