Options for door automation and controls in Lincolnshire

Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
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.

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 a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Powered door rules that apply in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is in England, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Can our door in Lincolnshire 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.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Lincolnshire?

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 long does a door automation job take in Lincolnshire?

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.
