What to specify

Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Brierley Hill 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Brierley Hill 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 Brierley Hill: your questions

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around the West Midlands?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across the West Midlands, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Which activation would suit our Brierley Hill 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Brierley Hill?

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.
