What to specify
- 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.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Jobs we can carry out
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Coleraine?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Coleraine can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Door automation and controls in Coleraine: your questions
Can our door in Coleraine 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 Coleraine?
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 Coleraine?
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.
