What we fit in Dumbarton

Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.

Examples of work we can quote for

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Powered door rules that apply in Dumbarton

Dumbarton is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
