What we fit in Worksop

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
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.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

What this work can involve

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Worksop?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Do automated doors in Worksop need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.

Can our door in Worksop be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Worksop?

Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Worksop follows a free survey.
