What we fit in West Yorkshire

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.

Examples of work we can quote for

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
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 West Yorkshire?

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

Most installations in West Yorkshire 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.

Door automation and controls in West Yorkshire: your questions

Which activation would suit our West Yorkshire 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.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in West Yorkshire?

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 our door in West Yorkshire 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.
