Options for door safety upgrades in Irvine
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Irvine are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

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.
