Quick answer
Busy door at your Dewsbury (WF12) site? Inverter control, induction loops or radar can open it as traffic arrives and close it straight after, with photocells and safety edges watching the opening.

Options that matter on site
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dewsbury?
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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around West Yorkshire?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across West Yorkshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
How long does a door automation job take in Dewsbury?
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.
Which activation would suit our Dewsbury 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.
