What we fit in Easterhouse
- 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.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Easterhouse 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
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.

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