What to specify
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.

- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canary Wharf?
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 Canary Wharf 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.
