What we fit in Bracknell
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- 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.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Powered door rules that apply in Bracknell
Bracknell is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Door safety upgrades in Bracknell: your questions
Do our powered doors in Bracknell 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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Bracknell 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 Bracknell?
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.
