What to specify
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- 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.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Powered door rules that apply in Wishaw
Wishaw 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.

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 Wishaw follows a free survey.
How long does a door automation job take in Wishaw?
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.
