Options for door automation and controls in Morley

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Morley 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.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Can our door in Morley 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 Morley 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Morley?

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.
