Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canning Town?

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.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
