Jobs we can carry out

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Halifax are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Halifax

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Halifax?

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.

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Halifax?

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 Halifax follows a free survey.

Which activation would suit our Halifax 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.
