What we fit in Leyland

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Leyland 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Lancashire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Leyland

Which activation would suit our Leyland 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Lancashire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Lancashire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Can our door in Leyland 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.
