Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Harpenden?
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
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Questions from businesses in Harpenden
Should we repair or replace our old door in Harpenden?
Repair is usually the first step. If the door has several faults, keeps failing or parts are no longer made, we price replacement alongside the repair so you can compare cost and remaining life.
Will our door in Harpenden be fixed on the first visit?
Many faults are fixed on the first visit. Where springs, panels, motors or curtains need ordering, we make the door safe, quote a fixed price for the repair and return to fit the parts.
Do you repair fire shutters across Hertfordshire?
Yes. We repair fire shutters across Hertfordshire, using parts and methods that keep to the manufacturer's specification so the shutter continues to perform as tested, and we drop-test it after the repair to prove it closes.
