What we fit in Telford
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
What this work can involve
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Telford?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Shropshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Telford?
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 Telford follows a free survey.
Which activation would suit our Telford 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 our door in Telford 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.
