What we fit in Rotherham

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Rotherham 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 Rotherham 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.
