Options for door automation and controls in Holyhead
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Holyhead 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Holyhead 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 Holyhead: your questions
Which activation would suit our Holyhead 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.
How long does a door automation job take in Holyhead?
A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Holyhead?
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.
