What we fit in Bury St Edmunds
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bury St Edmunds 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

How long does a door automation job take in Bury St Edmunds?
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.

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.
