Options that matter on site

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Nuneaton are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Nuneaton

How long does a door automation job take in Nuneaton?

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.

Can our door in Nuneaton 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.

Do automated doors in Nuneaton 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.
