What to specify

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
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.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.

Typical scopes of work

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.

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

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.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Does an electric roller shutter at our Kettering site need safety devices?

It depends on the risk assessment. A hold-to-run shutter in view of the operator may need little more than force limiting, while one that closes automatically typically needs a safety edge and photocells, tested to BS EN 12453.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Kettering?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.
