Questions from businesses in Magherafelt

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Magherafelt?

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.

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 Magherafelt 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.
