What we fit in Epsom

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
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 Epsom 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about door automation and controls

Which activation would suit our Epsom 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 much does it cost to make a door electric in Epsom?

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 Epsom follows a free survey.

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.
