What we fit in Rutland
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
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 radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Powered door rules that apply in Rutland
Rutland 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around the East Midlands?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across the East Midlands, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

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.
