Typical scopes of work

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
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 Kenilworth?

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

Most installations in Kenilworth can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Kenilworth

Can our door in Kenilworth be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Warwickshire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Warwickshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

How long does a door automation job take in Kenilworth?

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.
