What we fit in Bognor Regis

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
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.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bognor Regis?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Bognor Regis 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.
