What to specify
- 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. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Chesham 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
