What we fit in Limavady

Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

What this work can involve

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Powered door rules in Northern Ireland

Limavady is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Door automation and controls in Limavady: your questions

Which activation would suit our Limavady 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 County Londonderry?

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

Can our door in Limavady 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.
