Town: West Bridgford
Postcode district: NG2
Area: Nottinghamshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.

Typical scopes of work

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.

Powered door rules that apply in West Bridgford

West Bridgford 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.

How the work is organised

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.
