- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in North Yorkshire 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.
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 North Yorkshire: your questions
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Yorkshire and the Humber?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Yorkshire and the Humber, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
Which activation would suit our North Yorkshire 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.
How long does a door automation job take in North Yorkshire?
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.
