What we fit in Gosport
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- 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 Gosport?
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 Gosport 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
Which activation would suit our Gosport 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Gosport?
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.
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.
