Options for door automation and controls in Streatham
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Streatham 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
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.

Door automation and controls in Streatham: your questions
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Streatham?
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.

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 Streatham follows a free survey.
How long does a door automation job take in Streatham?
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.
