Options that matter on site
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Powered door rules that apply in Wrexham
Wrexham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
