Door automation and controls in Stratford-upon-Avon

At a glance

Tired of hand-chaining a heavy door open at your Stratford-upon-Avon unit? A manual-to-electric conversion saves time every shift, and we handle the safety devices and conformity paperwork that come with it.

Town: Stratford-upon-Avon
Postcode district: CV37
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Do automated doors in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Stratford-upon-Avon?

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.
