Door automation and controls in Burnham-on-Sea

In short

Busy door at your Burnham-on-Sea (TA8) site? Inverter control, induction loops or radar can open it as traffic arrives and close it straight after, with photocells and safety edges watching the opening.

Town: Burnham-on-Sea
Postcode district: TA8
Area: Somerset
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Burnham-on-Sea

Burnham-on-Sea 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Burnham-on-Sea?

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.

How long does a door automation job take in Burnham-on-Sea?

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.

Which activation would suit our Burnham-on-Sea 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.
