Options for door automation and controls in Bromsgrove

Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

What this work can involve

Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bromsgrove 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

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.

Door automation and controls in Bromsgrove: your questions

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Worcestershire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Worcestershire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Can our door in Bromsgrove 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.

How long does a door automation job take in Bromsgrove?

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.
