Options that matter on site

Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Crieff

Crieff is in Scotland, 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Which activation would suit our Crieff 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.

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

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 Crieff follows a free survey.

Can our door in Crieff 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.
