Options for door automation and controls in Cumbernauld

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Powered door rules that apply in Cumbernauld

Cumbernauld is in Scotland, 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.

Questions from businesses in Cumbernauld

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Cumbernauld?

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.

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 Cumbernauld follows a free survey.

Do automated doors in Cumbernauld 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.
