Options for door automation and controls in Strabane

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
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.
