What we fit in Hayes

Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hayes 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Your questions about door automation and controls

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.

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 Hayes follows a free survey.

Which activation would suit our Hayes 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.
