What to specify
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
What this work can involve
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Dyfed 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Dyfed can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Dyfed?
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 Dyfed.
Can you force-test our doors in Dyfed?
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 our powered doors in Dyfed 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.
