What we fit in Wokingham
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Powered door rules that apply in Wokingham
Wokingham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
