Options for door safety upgrades in Bo'ness

Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.

Powered door rules that apply in Bo'ness

Bo'ness is in Scotland, 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

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.
