Options for door automation and controls in Banstead

Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
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.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
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 Banstead 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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Door automation and controls in Banstead: your questions

Can our door in Banstead 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.

Do automated doors in Banstead need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Surrey?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Surrey, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
