What to specify
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Cambuslang?
In Scotland, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in Cambuslang
How long does a door automation job take in Cambuslang?
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.
Which activation would suit our Cambuslang 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 much does it cost to make a door electric in Cambuslang?
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 Cambuslang follows a free survey.
