Options that matter on site
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
- Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
- Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
- Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
- Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
- Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Powered door rules that apply in Dorset
Dorset is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
