Options for door automation and controls in Berwick-upon-Tweed

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.

Typical scopes of work

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
