What to specify
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Wood Green?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Which activation would suit our Wood Green 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 Wood Green?
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.
Do automated doors in Wood Green 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.
