Options for door automation and controls in Oswestry

Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Jobs we can carry out

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Oswestry 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Oswestry

Which activation would suit our Oswestry 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.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Shropshire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Shropshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Can our door in Oswestry 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.
