Town: Enfield
Postcode district: EN2
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Powered door rules that apply in Enfield

Enfield is in England, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Enfield 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.

Questions from businesses in Enfield

Which activation would suit our Enfield 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Greater London?

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

Can our door in Enfield be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
