At a glance

Tired of hand-chaining a heavy door open at your Reigate unit? A manual-to-electric conversion saves time every shift, and we handle the safety devices and conformity paperwork that come with it.

Town: Reigate
Postcode district: RH2
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
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.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

What this work can involve

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Reigate?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Surrey the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Reigate

How long does a door automation job take in Reigate?

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.

Do automated doors in Reigate 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.

Which activation would suit our Reigate 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.
