What we fit in Newark-on-Trent

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

Typical scopes of work

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
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 Newark-on-Trent 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

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

Which activation would suit our Newark-on-Trent 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 Newark-on-Trent?

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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Nottinghamshire?

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