Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

Typical scopes of work

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
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.

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

In Scotland, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Dunfermline can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Dunfermline

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Dunfermline?

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 Dunfermline 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Fife?

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