What we fit in Omagh

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Powered door rules in Northern Ireland

Omagh is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in County Tyrone 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls

How long does a door automation job take in Omagh?

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 you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Omagh?

Yes. When we convert a door to power, we carry out the risk assessment, test the door and issue the Declaration of Conformity and user instructions, as the person who has made it a machine.

Do automated doors in Omagh 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.
