Options for door automation and controls in Worcestershire
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- 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.
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Worcestershire 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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in the West Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Worcestershire
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Worcestershire?
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 Worcestershire?
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 Worcestershire follows a free survey.
Do automated doors in Worcestershire 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.
