Door automation and controls in Yeovil

In short

From a simple push-button station to airlock interlocks and traffic lights, we design and fit door controls in Yeovil that make each door safer and quicker to use day to day.

Town: Yeovil
Postcode district: BA20
Area: Somerset
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Yeovil 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Yeovil can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about door automation and controls

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Yeovil?

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 Yeovil follows a free survey.

Can our door in Yeovil 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 Yeovil 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.
