What to specify

Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.

What this work can involve

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dover?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
