The short version

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
What this work can involve
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Mold 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.
Planning the work around your site
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Do our powered doors in Mold 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 much does a door safety upgrade cost in Mold?
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 Mold.
Our door at our Mold 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.
