Hi, 

 

i know now it's not purely security but I am struggling to find any automatic gate engineers, does anyone know of a forum similar to this for automatic gates or does anyone know anybody that needs extra work for automatic gates? We only have bits and pieces but my so called engineer seems more interested in his new female friend than work..

 

tha ks in advance..

 

 

sussex is a bit far from me, post any questions and ill help with what i can (its mostly the wiring side i do and fabrication for modifications. for new installs i usually work with a few fabrication companies who do the mechanical side)

 

also, im sure youre aware they have their own regs (12635, 12445, 12453 & various others), and if you leave a gate in a dangerous condition and something was to happen...

You'll be in the brown smelly stuff, that's for sure

it is specialist (well, straight forward when you know what you are doing), its also one of the main things i do. the amount of dodgy installs i go is excessive. a large amount of gates i go to that are broken are also dangerous and its a good thing they have broken. find plenty photocells that have been bypassed, occasionally none at all. there is also far too many gates fitted with no edges. especially larger ones which would be way in excess of the max forces allowed. plenty where control panel is set wrong, motor force to 100% etc. no-one seems to care (or know in many cases) that they are classed as machinery and are covered by statute law and not guidelines like alarm & wiring regs etc
