What we fit in Camborne

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Camborne?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Camborne vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Camborne

Do automated doors in Camborne 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 much does it cost to make a door electric in Camborne?

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 Camborne follows a free survey.

Which activation would suit our Camborne 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.
