What we fit in Newry
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
What this work can involve
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Keeping your site running during the work

Frequently asked questions
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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Newry?
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 Newry 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.
