Options that matter on site

Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
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.
Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Rosyth?

In Scotland, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Fife the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
