- Cornwall
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.

- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
What this work can involve
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Redruth 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
Will a safety upgrade at our Redruth premises include paperwork?
Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.
Our door at our Redruth 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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Redruth?
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.
