What to specify
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Typical scopes of work
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Brixton?
In England, 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Brixton 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.
