What we fit in Jarrow
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Jarrow 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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
