What to specify
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Powered door rules in Northern Ireland
County Armagh is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Will a safety upgrade at our County Armagh 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.
Do our powered doors in County Armagh 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.
Can you force-test our doors in County Armagh?
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.
