In short
From a simple push-button station to airlock interlocks and traffic lights, we design and fit door controls in Malvern that make each door safer and quicker to use day to day.
- Town
- Malvern
- Postcode district
- WR14
- Area
- Worcestershire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- 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 Malvern 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 Worcestershire 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.

Door automation and controls in Malvern: your questions
Do automated doors in Malvern 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.
Which activation would suit our Malvern site?
It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
Can our door in Malvern 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.
