Door automation and controls in Cirencester

Quick answer

We can automate sectional doors, roller shutters and sliding doors in Cirencester and across Gloucestershire, choosing direct, centre or chain-drive motors and the activation method that suits the traffic using each door.

Town: Cirencester
Postcode district: GL7
Area: Gloucestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Cirencester 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

Most installations in Cirencester 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls

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

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

How long does a door automation job take in Cirencester?

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.

Which activation would suit our Cirencester 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.
