What we fit in Newport (Gwent)

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.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
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.

What this work can involve

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Newport (Gwent) 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Newport (Gwent) can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Door automation and controls in Newport (Gwent): your questions

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Newport (Gwent)?

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 Newport (Gwent) 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.

Can our door in Newport (Gwent) be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
