Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.

What this work can involve

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
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 Warwick?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Warwickshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Warwick

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Warwick?

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 Warwick 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.

Which activation would suit our Warwick site?

It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
