What to specify

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Llandrindod Wells 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
