Options for door automation and controls in Wellington

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.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Wellington 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Which activation would suit our Wellington 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Wellington?

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.

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.
