What to specify

Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Feltham?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Feltham

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Feltham?

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 Feltham follows a free survey.

Do automated doors in Feltham need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Feltham?

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.
