What we fit in Nottinghamshire

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
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.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.

Typical scopes of work

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.
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 Nottinghamshire 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about door automation and controls

How long does a door automation job take in Nottinghamshire?

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.

Which activation would suit our Nottinghamshire 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around the East Midlands?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across the East Midlands, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
