Options for door automation and controls in Cheshunt

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Cheshunt

Cheshunt 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.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Do automated doors in Cheshunt 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.

Which activation would suit our Cheshunt 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 Cheshunt?

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.
