Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

Typical scopes of work

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Rosyth 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.
