Options that matter on site
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
What this work can involve
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Flint?
In Wales, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
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.

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.
Can you force-test our doors in Flint?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Clwyd?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Clwyd, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
