Options for door automation and controls in Shrewsbury
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Shrewsbury 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
Sites in and around Shrewsbury vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Which activation would suit our Shrewsbury 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.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Shrewsbury?
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.
