What we fit in Troon
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Troon 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.
How the work is organised
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.
