Options for door automation and controls in Banbridge

Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.

Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Typical scopes of work

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around County Down?

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

How long does a door automation job take in Banbridge?

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.

Do automated doors in Banbridge 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.
