Options that matter on site

Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
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.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
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 Canterbury?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Canterbury can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
