What we fit in Rugby

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Powered door rules that apply in Rugby

Rugby is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Rugby vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Door automation and controls in Rugby: your questions

Can our door in Rugby 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 Rugby?

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.
