Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Typical scopes of work
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Wallington?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about door automation and controls
How long does a door automation job take in Wallington?
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.
Which activation would suit our Wallington 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Wallington?
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.
