Options for door automation and controls in Falkirk
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Falkirk are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Falkirk 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.
