Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Worcester?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Worcester can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about door automation and controls
How long does a door automation job take in Worcester?
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 Worcester?
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 Worcester follows a free survey.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Worcester?
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.
