Options for door automation and controls in Havant
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Havant?
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

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Havant?
Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Havant follows a free survey.
Can our door in Havant 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 Havant 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.
