What we fit in Golborne

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Powered door rules that apply in Golborne

Golborne 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
