Options for door automation and controls in Eastleigh

Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eastleigh?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Eastleigh 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our door in Eastleigh 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 automated doors in Eastleigh 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.

Which activation would suit our Eastleigh 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.
