What we fit in Newquay

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

Typical scopes of work

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.

Powered door rules that apply in Newquay

Newquay is in England, 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

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.

Questions from businesses in Newquay

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Newquay?

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 Newquay 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Newquay?

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.
