What we fit in Fleet

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.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Fleet

Fleet is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Fleet vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Can our door in Fleet 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Hampshire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Hampshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Do automated doors in Fleet 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.
