Town: Leeds
Postcode district: LS1
Area: West Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Leeds?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Leeds vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

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.

Can our door in Leeds 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.

Do automated doors in Leeds need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.
