What to specify
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
What this work can involve
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Powered door rules that apply in Welshpool
Welshpool is in Wales, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Welshpool?
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 Welshpool follows a free survey.
How long does a door automation job take in Welshpool?
A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Welshpool?
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.
