Door automation and controls in Wembley

In short

Every automation job in Wembley starts with a free survey of the door, its condition and the people and vehicles that use it, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

Town: Wembley
Postcode district: HA0
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Typical scopes of work

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Powered door rules that apply in Wembley

Wembley 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

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Wembley

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Wembley?

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.

Which activation would suit our Wembley 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 automated doors in Wembley 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.
