What we fit in Cricklewood
- 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.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Powered door rules that apply in Cricklewood
Cricklewood is in England, 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
Most installations in Cricklewood 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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Will a safety upgrade at our Cricklewood premises include paperwork?

Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Greater London?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Greater London, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
