Options for door automation and controls in Bellshill

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
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 override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.

What this work can involve

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Bellshill 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Bellshill 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.

Questions from businesses in Bellshill

Which activation would suit our Bellshill 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Bellshill?

A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Bellshill?
