Options for door automation and controls in Dagenham
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dagenham?
In England, 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
