What we fit in Mid Glamorgan
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Mid Glamorgan 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Do automated doors in Mid Glamorgan need more maintenance?
Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.
Which activation would suit our Mid Glamorgan 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Mid Glamorgan?
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.
