Options for door safety upgrades in Clwyd
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Powered door rules that apply in Clwyd
Clwyd is in Wales, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Do our powered doors in Clwyd 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 Clwyd?
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.
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Clwyd?
Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Clwyd.
