What we fit in Connah's Quay

Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.

Powered door rules that apply in Connah's Quay

Connah's Quay 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.
