Options for door automation and controls in Hounslow

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hounslow 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

Most installations in Hounslow 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Do automated doors in Hounslow 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.

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.

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

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 Hounslow follows a free survey.
