Typical scopes of work

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Egham?

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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
