What to specify
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Powered door rules that apply in Barnsley
Barnsley 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.
Access, phasing and timing

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