Options for door automation and controls in Yateley

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Powered door rules that apply in Yateley

Yateley 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

Which activation would suit our Yateley 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.

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 Yateley?

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.
