What to specify
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Falmouth?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
