Town: Worthing
Postcode district: BN11
Area: West Sussex
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Powered door rules that apply in Worthing

Worthing 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Frequently asked questions

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Worthing?

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.

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

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

Can our door in Worthing be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
