What we fit in Cramlington
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- 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
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Powered door rules that apply in Cramlington
Cramlington is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Planning the work around your site
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.
