Options that matter on site
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Brislington 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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Our door at our Brislington site has a bypassed safety edge. What should we do?
Stop using the door under power until the safety device is working, or use it on hold-to-run only if the risk assessment allows. We can replace the edge or fit alternative detection and re-test the door.
Do our powered doors in Brislington 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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Brislington?
Most upgrades take a few hours per door, including re-testing. If a new control panel is needed, it may take longer. We plan work to keep doors out of use for as short a time as possible.
