Options that matter on site

Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.

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

In Scotland, 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

Will a safety upgrade at our Campbeltown premises include paperwork?

Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.

Can you force-test our doors in Campbeltown?

Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.

Do our powered doors in Campbeltown need safety upgrades?

It depends on how they are controlled and used. Doors that close automatically or on a single press typically need edges and photocells or light curtains. A survey and force test shows whether your doors meet current expectations.
