Electric Vertical Sliding Window Actuator 500mm Stroke (Kent 2023)

Electric window actuators fitted to both side of the vertical sliding sash window

Project Description

Location: Kent
Year Completed: 2023
Value: £2,886.00

  • Electric Vertical Sliding Window Actuator 500mm Stroke Opening
  • Electrics

Replacement window openers were required for roof light windows in a hotel, where the roof light sashes are so high up they cannot be opened manually and required automatic openers in order to provide ventilation. The existing openers were faulty and broken therefore we replaced them as well as adding rain sensors and night timers which they didn’t have before, this added a extra layer of protection for the new units so when it started raining the sensors would detect this change in weather and automatically protecting the building from rain as well as the new openers.

Retro Conversion of Composite Front Entrance Door (Southend-on-Sea 2025)

Project Description

Location: Southend-on-Sea
Year Completed: 2025
Value: £3,683.36

  • Retro conversion of existing composite front entrance door (fully automated by lock)
  • Electrics
  • Touchless wall switch
  • Somfy Tahoma Wi-Fi Interface

An automated door opener was required for a local customer. We converted the existing manual door to a fully automated door. This was particularly tricky as the existing composite door had an old Winkhaus Heritage locking system where the cylinder sits in a different place than usual. However, we managed to overcome this by using the latest Winkhaus AV4E Heritage lock, which only came out recently. This helped us automate the lock without needing to use cover plates. We also installed a Somfy Tahoma hub that allows the client to control the door with an application on his phone, as well as a key fob & wall switch.

New Composite Automatic Front Entrance Door 2025

Before - NEW COMPOSITE AUTOMATIC FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR

Project Description

Location: Nottinghamshire
Year Completed: 2025
Value: £7,156.35

  • New Composite Automatic Front Entrance Door (Fully Automated by Lock)
  • Electrics
  • Wireless Wall Switch
  • Video Phone Intercom System
  • Finger Guards
  • Safety Sensors

A new low-threshold automatic door was required for a disabled client, which was funded via a DFG grant from the local council. The old UPVC doorway was replaced with a new, more stylish composite door. The job included full automation via an automatic operator and motorised lock. Other valued extras include a video intercom, which allows users to open the door from almost anywhere in the house and allows the client to see who’s at the door before granting entry. 

Retro Conversion of an Entrance Fire Door

Project Description

Location: South London
Year Completed: 2019
Value: £3,200.00

Retro conversion of an existing flat entrance fire door.

A local authority instructed us to find a door entrance solution for a disabled resident, so that he could enter and exit his property with ease. The existing entrance door is very heavy as it is a fire door. The door can now be operated via hand-held remote control and internal wall switch. A 48-month maintenance agreement was purchased to commence after expiry of the 12 month warranty, to ensure continued operation of equipment.

Made To Measure Actuator Box

Project Description

Location: Derbyshire
Year Completed: 2019
Value: £2,900.00

This was an unusual project to retro fit a swing door opener to the outside of the property, instead of the inside. We also had to construct a made to measure housing unit to protect the electrical parts of the actuator.

Now the entrance door will open and close automatically whenever the user approaches the door in his wheelchair that is fitted with a sensor key.
