Door automation and controls in Fleetwood

In short

Door automation for warehouses, workshops and loading bays in Fleetwood. We convert manual doors to electric, fit motors and control panels, and add loops, radar, remotes and interlocks to suit how each door is used.

Town: Fleetwood
Postcode district: FY7
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.

What this work can involve

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Fleetwood 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

Sites in and around Fleetwood vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Fleetwood

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Fleetwood?

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.

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

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 Fleetwood follows a free survey.

Can our door in Fleetwood be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
