Options for door safety upgrades in Carshalton
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- 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.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Carshalton?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Carshalton
Our door at our Carshalton 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.
Can you force-test our doors in Carshalton?
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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Carshalton?
Most upgrades take a few hours per door, including re-testing. If a new control panel is needed, it may take longer. We plan work to keep doors out of use for as short a time as possible.
