What we fit in New Malden

Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
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 New Malden

New Malden 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Door automation and controls in New Malden: your questions

Can our door in New Malden 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.

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.

Do automated doors in New Malden 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.
