Options that matter on site

Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Fulham 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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Fulham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Fulham

Which activation would suit our Fulham 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 Fulham?

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.

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.
