Options for door automation and controls in Wiltshire
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Wiltshire 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.

Your questions about door automation and controls
Do automated doors in Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire?
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.
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Wiltshire?
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 Wiltshire follows a free survey.
