Town: Winchester
Postcode district: SO23
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

Jobs we can carry out

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
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 Winchester 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Your questions about door automation and controls

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 you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Winchester?

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.

Which activation would suit our Winchester 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.
