What to specify

Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.

Typical scopes of work

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chester-le-Street?

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.
