Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- 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.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Jobs we can carry out
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bexleyheath 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 Bexleyheath 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
Which activation would suit our Bexleyheath 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 Bexleyheath?
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.
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Bexleyheath?
Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Bexleyheath follows a free survey.
