Options for door automation and controls in Clevedon
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
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.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Clevedon?
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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Somerset 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Can our door in Clevedon 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.
Which activation would suit our Clevedon 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 much does it cost to make a door electric in Clevedon?
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 Clevedon follows a free survey.
