Options that matter on site
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Andover 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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Andover
Can our door in Andover 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Andover?
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 Andover 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.
