Options for door automation and controls in Leamington Spa

Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Leamington Spa?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Leamington Spa

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Leamington Spa?

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 Leamington Spa 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Leamington Spa?

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.
