Options that matter on site
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
What this work can involve
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Gwynedd 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.
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
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Wales?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Wales, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Gwynedd?
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 Gwynedd 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.
