- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
What this work can involve
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Easterhouse
Easterhouse is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Easterhouse 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Easterhouse?
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 Easterhouse 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.
How long does a door automation job take in Easterhouse?
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.
