Options that matter on site

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
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 Wolverhampton 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

Most installations in Wolverhampton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton?

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.
