Options that matter on site
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
What this work can involve
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Brighouse
Brighouse 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about door automation and controls
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Brighouse?
Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Brighouse follows a free survey.
How long does a door automation job take in Brighouse?
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.

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.
