What to specify
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Warwickshire?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Warwickshire
Do automated doors in Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire?
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 Warwickshire follows a free survey.
